I bought it late 2004 after crashing my '94 SL500 (183,000 miles). This car is seriously fun to drive. Passengers might complain about the very firm ride; but I am all smiles as I straighten every curve! My only real complaint is the Porsche tax, which makes the Mercedes tax look reasonable. However, this car has been the most reliable German car that I've owned. The rear main seal failed at 99,500 miles (replaced under 100,000 mile warranty), the ignition key housing cracked (not a warranty item), I replaced the clutch when the rear main seal failed, the cooling system leaked twice, and the ac condenser had to be replaced. This is car is not an Infiniti. Otherwise, routine maintenance.
Awesome Car!

Very reliable. Still turns heads. While suffers, as most do, from the rear main seal leak, it's a warranty item, so no big deal. If I could only own one of my cars, this would be the one I'd keep.

I had quite a few electrical system problems with the car, plus a major coolant leak. This was more than I expected with this vehicle considering how highly rated their reliability is! However, the car is a blast to drive and I'm glad I bought it! I highly recommend Porsche cars!
Not my Last 911

Bought this new in 2001 and did Euro Delivery. Highly recommend that as a car buying experience. Everyone at Porsche was amazing. Flying out of the factory and opening it up on the Autobahn was a life moment for me. The car has been fantastic. Performance is still outstanding. The handling is so great, it amazes me sometimes how fast this car can go through tight corners. Has only needed minor repairs. Super reliable and fun to drive.

My Porsche 911 never fails to exceed my expectations. Whether it is a drive up to the cottage, a cross country trip to the East Coast (2,500 km), competing in Targa Newfoundland, taking it to Mosport for track days or going out for groceries this car delivers whatever is required. The running costs of the car aren't excessive and insurance wasn't a killer (one of the benefits of middle age). Five years after buying it I'm still surprised at how much fun it is and how great it looks. If you're a car fan you owe it to yourself to get into one of these if you can. And the good news is they just keep getting better!
