- Almost all the dashboards crack. This has little to do with the actual mileage. It's mainly a combo of age and heat and sun that do the dashes of these cars in.

Yeah... my 1977 911S is definitely better than my (old) 87 924S. More power, and it sticks to the road like its on rails. And so far... cheaper in maintenance (... so far ).
