It fooled two dealerships and three other shops before the owner decided to ship it 1,000 miles to us. We diagnosed it in less than 30 minutes. Now he is getting a big bore and is part of our 13 month backlog!
It seems your saying these motors are crap. Do any, in your opinion, survive to 50k? I've no interest in dropping 10k into a $18k car. 28 grand, for what? That would buy something far more contemporary without any hassle I should think.

When did Porsche get their _hit together on these motors?
