you emphasize where the engine came from and any warranty that attaches if those are favorable. I'm thinking that fresh engine can be a Porsche sourced engine with warranty or it can be a used engine with one thing fixed from some unknown source. Makes a difference.

Good luck.

(Know where you are coming from. Had a BMW 2002 1970 that the wife thought was always in the shop and thus must be a lemon when in reality it was just being improved with Koni shocks, reclining seats, etc. Knowing what was important to my happiness, I sold the car. Still married 30+ years later. She is also the one who suggested I buy both Boxsters I've owned in the last 7 years.)
