Yes I bought it toasted! but I prefer that case scenario than buying it running (almost dead) drive couple miles and then get stuck at a red light because of IMS bearing.

I think there is 0 (Zero) relationship between the life of the vehicle and if a person just start to own it running or not.

The matter is that there is a Porsche Boxster 987 with only 42k that got engine damage due to the common IMS bearing failure. And the thread topic:

How to get Porsche replace my 2005 987 Porsche engine IMS bearing failure at 42023 mi

You're funny.

How much did you pay for this car?

You bought it - the way you preferred it and now you're parting it out while wondering how to get Porsche to replace an engine in a car you are currently dismantling? And you have the poor judgement to trash them?

You need to take that roller you bought and try to get your money out of it since you were clearly advised to stay away from it by members here.
