Wise words from Mike.
But for the poor schmucks with single row bearings, the risk is at least 8x the 1% for the double row cars. As they say in the Casino world '"The House always wins".
The other factor that you raise - budget for a rebuild/replacement - as these cars become cheaper , the Miata-budget guys buy them and think ' Wow cheap Porsche +German Engineering - must be a deal ,right ?' .Those guys have no clue how expensive the M96 can be and I doubt many have even a $3k budget for an engine replacement- so $32k is out of their world expensive. Even a $5 used engine +labor would make them totally upside down in a car probably worth less than $5k.Just want them to go in eyes wide open to the possible cost.
