Porsche 911
Good evening everyone!
I am am currently the owner of a Porsche Boxster 2003 and am thinking of upgrading to the Porsche 911 Convertible (2014-2020). I was wondering what to expect in terms of reliability and maintenance costs. I drive approximately 10-12k miles a year so this car would definitely be used as a Daily Driver. If I were to get this car I would definitely get automatic transmission so I wouldn't have to deal with the cost of replacing the clutch (plus the roads in LA are not conducive to manually gear shifting).
How reliable would a Porsche 911 (2014-2020) be as a daily driver? I'm thinking of getting one with between 10 and 40k miles on it. How much should I expect to spend on maintenance every year?
My current 2003 Boxster has been an absolute NIGHTMARE in terms of repairs. I got it in 2014 with 50k miles on it and with only driving 40k more, I have had to replace the transmission, engine and many other parts. I have spent $10k a year on repairs since 2014 and the car has broken down so many times (including on the freeway) that I've had to have it towed 5+ times. I am hoping this is abnormal and am wondering what your experiences are with 911s as DDs? Also, for those of you who have owned Boxsters, is this typical?
Thanks in advance for your help and I am excited that this is my first post to 6speed
Please bear with me and I apologize in advance if this post is not in the correct location

WOW! I would have chucked that car a long time ago!
I can't speak for the 911, but my '14 Cayenne that was bought new has been almost flawless since it was bought. Just regular maintenance and tires. No breakdowns at all and any warranty work was due to small stuff in the cabin.
I'm also in the market for a 2017-2019 911, so I'm watching this thread closely.
