Hi Spider
The Porsche 964 is a much maligned car. Every generation of 911 has its Achilles heel and the 964 is no exception. The early models suffered from flywheel and oil leak problems. Most of these would have been resolevd under warantee and they are well Documented. There is an excellent 964 website called:
www.porsche964.co.uk
. Go there and have a read of the problems. The truth is that they are much exagerated and a 964, if bought carefully, will be a great buy. Prices are really low right now (good LHD from about £13k and RHD from about £15k) and although service costs are a bit higher than both the older 3.2 and the newer 993 there is no reason why it should cause your son any more problems that any other type of 911.
Cheers, James
PS The 964 RS is one of the best drivers 911s money can buy
