With AWD and snow tires they make great winter cars.

The rustproofing on my '89 944 Turbo was excellent. I imagine it's only improved since then.
Beautiful car, OP.

Most German cars are at least decent in rustproofing (with a few exceptions), particularly the higher end ones. Galvanized unibodies go a long way towards making things last in the salt.

Love that interior, and the lack of flappy paddle trash.
Sweet car confirmed.

The old cars turned to dust at the sight of salt, but I have never seen a newer one rust. They seem to hold up as well as any other modern car.

First thing I looked for was that 3rd pedal. Awesome car!
Very nice! Steering wheel looks a bit different but I wouldn't complain. Is he going to let you drive it?
A guy I worked with a few years back had a 2002 911 Turbo that he DD'ed. When I was working with him it had over 200,000 miles on it and was rust-free. I don't think I ever even saw him wash it.

I remember that one year at the Maine Forest WINTER Pro Rally (back when SCCA still ran them), Jeff Zwart (Stuttgartphile that he is) ran a late '90s/early '00s Carrera C4s on the icy and snow bound stage roads, with the requisite, dirt bike narrow, Michelin C, or NA series tires, of course (they did not allow studs on the forest roads, so some were using Nokian Hakkas).
I think he did fairly well that year, if I recall correctly.

I have taken a 4S out in 6-8 and it was like a rally car with Blizzaks.
