98, 2.5, 5spd, 78k miles, no payments, no warranty, no fear. Very few unscheduled repairs in 3 1/2 yrs of ownership. I do my own diagnosis and some regular maintenance. My local Econolube does my oil changes now for 20 bux if I supply the oil, filter, crush ring. Not worth my trouble anymore. I also found a good local indy for wrenching stuff I don't care to do. Good to have another set of experienced eyes under the car once a year or so. I just can't stand dealer service.
My car is a weekend toy, joyride, track tool. If I had a serious engine failure there would be no time pressure to fix it so I will weigh my options if and when the time comes. I am over my lust for big horsepower so I may just do a Raby 2.5 spec rebuild and keep it stock. I must admit to taking a little twisted pleasure in driving around GT3s, TTs, 997s, and Vettes in my old, underpowered, POS 2.5L chick car. It is my fatal flaw.
