Sometimes it's nothing to do with education, but owners who don't see the value in spending thousands when odds are greater then 90% that your IMS will be fine.

When you are paying $10,000 for a 5 year old Camry that is a good risk. If you are paying $25,000 for an 11 year old car with known (small percent agreed) issues, you are playing in a different league. My only issue in starting this thread was to see if the bearing in the car I was looking at is replaceable or not. I have to justify if paying a premium price and another $2,500 to replace this garage queen's bearing so I can drive with peace of mind. I have owned 2 early year water cooled Porshes and replaced both with L&N bearings for peace of mind. Others can ignore the issue if the want.
