Hi Alan
Seemingly its low mileage example that tend to go.
When i bought my Boxster S 3 years ago for £5100 with 95k miles I was determined not to get it done and just enjoy the car.
My attitude was if it goes it goes Ill just sell it as a breaker... simple
Now im 3 years in and the car owns me, Im going to get it done. There is a Porsche Specialist lady here in the NW of England called Kath Burrows who does a bearing check and replaces the clutch at the same time for £695 all in so its not too bad.
I think it all comes down to how long you plan on keeping the car, how much you like the car and how much it would affect you if the engine wrecked itself as the car would most likely be beyond economical repair.
Porsches should come with a warning:
Achtung! Regardless of model or year owning these cars can become addictive to the point where their welfare becomes a major priority in your life!
