There are certain things that maintenance effort is acceptable, but regarding something that's an important component of the engine rotating assembly should not be acceptable. Look at the industry, who expect to directly maintain their rotating assembly? NOBODY!

I'm not saying it's acceptable, and I'm not defending Porsche.

But, it is what it is.

There is a $2K aftermarket fix for this. It's really not that big of a deal. If your worried about the bearing then change it out.

If your not worried about the bearing, then just drive the car.

But either way, $2K isn't material in the overall total cost of ownership over time.

Buy the car, replace the bearing (or don't) and drive the car.
