Clouded ownership

We have our 2003 2.7 Tiptronic for 4 months 52,000 kms, serviced every year irrespective of distance travelled, in some cases only 1-2000 kms per year, we love the car but agree that this IMS spook tends to undermine the ownership experience.
We have put another 3000 kms on it since buying it, its running perfectly so far.

Since we only paid about 25% of the original purchase price for what looks and drives like a new car I guess if it gives us another 5 years of enjoyment without major equipment failure, we will be ahead of the first owner who experienced a $100,000 depreciation in just over 52,000 kms, Porsches are expensive here in Australia.

BTW i'm 76 years old, maybe I will have a major equipment failure first,

Cheers Alan
