I don't even have my first p-car yet so I can't say from experience, but I do keep reading a lotta posts about engine rebuilds at or before 100K. Now I'm gonna step on "it" but if you look at quality water cooled vehicles(not American) like my BMW it has over 100k and I expect another 100K out of it, not to mention Toyotas and Hondas, w/o engine rebuilds. Plus 20 year old cars anything can happen, throw a wheel bearing, develop short circuit(worn thru wire, that could be nightmare to find), springs, shocks, ignition switch, door hinge,etc.
I don't know which one is easier to work on. I actually thought the 996 would be easier because of the OBD. We can't know the longevity of 996 yet.
Air cooled cars and bikes for that matter just wear differently than water cooled, tolerances and temps are vastly different, I'm not telling you anything new.
I'm not looking to offend anybody and apologies if I did, I'm willing to buy either car, and I'm sure I will be happy. Thnaks
