I hope I do not get kicked of the Forum for what I am about to say, but here goes. There is a lot of ********************ing in this post, this will be the last Porsche for me , how can they do this bla bla bla bla. The fricken cars are older that 10 years some with high miles some with dodgy service history and some were guys work on there own. Stop saying the brand or car is bad and unreliable. Look at my post below and I am not ********************ing about my failures. They are awesome cars and need maintenance go figure, nothing last forever. Its a bearing replace the thing its $750 DIY-$1800 for shop to do. Just have it done a new engine is $12000-$18000. Do you guys think a Honda S2000 BS I had two and one dropped a valve and the other one ran bearings on a track day (oil was on the full mark). Other failures are related to poor maintenance, bad driving habits, and about 5% bad design that Porsche did address. I drove a 996 last night with 298000 miles same engine, new IMS and RMS put in at 230000 miles, what about those cars. Yes its a Porsche built to a budget but go to your car and look at the quality and the engineering that is build into the car. You have a Porsche for Miata money that performs and handles like no ones busyness. Thank you spoke my mind. And drive the wheels of them that's what they are designed for.
