I had the same year 911SC, 944, and 928S - all were 1983. During
the time I owned them, the 911 ran me about $1500 in maintenance and
repairs (I did most work myself, but I had a valve adjustment done and
Fischer Motors****ts fixed a starting problem I had - I can't recall
the cause), the 944 about $1000 (I recall replacing the idle control
valve, the alternator, charging the AC and getting a new battery), and
the 928S about $1000 (a possible waste - I had the timing belt done
and the shop said the one inside was almost new and only needed
tensioning, but the previous owner had no records and hadn't had it
done, so I wanted to play it safe.)
As I said before, the 944 makes a great first ****sche imo, but I
don't know the parts situation in SA for them. There were thousands of
them sold in the US, so used and new parts are plentiful here. The 928
was always relatively rare pretty much everywhere, so I'd expect parts
to be difficult for that. Aside from a bad fuel pump relay, I never
had a lick of trouble from mine.
