Porsche paranoia causes a lot of people to sell up, hence why they can have a lot of owners and low miles
I think I was lucky and only had consumables in the 4 yrs I had it, my brother sold his and got an rs focus and my other brother sold his after 5yrs and got a turbo
There is a lot to learn about before you jump in, that's why I said read and read, cheap to buy now but can be very expensive
A ppi is a must but still not a guarantee of a reliable car
I just felt in the end the 996 was dated especially the interior so I came back and got a 370z, no regrets so far
