I've owned a 3.2 & 930 in the past; but that was almost 20 years ago. They had issues [relays, always relays] but they never broke down. Now with 20 more years of time on these cars, is it still the same? The car will visit a mechanic every 5,000 Km for an oil change and whatever else is needed.

Thinking of getting an OBDI car, for sake of simplicity and easier maintenance [no air-pump, etc]. Is that an accurate assumption? I don't mind giving up some power for reliability. Since this will be my daily city car, it would need to start 99% of the time.
The '95 still has SAI but being OBD1 there is no code when the SAI ports get clogged. Ignorance is bliss. On an OBD2 car when the ports get clogged, the computer throws an emissions code and the car wont pass emissions/smog with the code.

'95 also has no immobilizer and can be chipped easily.
