The reality is that if it happens to a 986 it is basically totaled from a financial view point.
I've told customers to avoid cars in the 80,000 to 120,000 mile range for years, once again I should have followed my own advice and traded my 01 in for a new car. I just don't want to part with a car that Peter Porsche autographed.
Jake puts up with a lot of comments from owners like me and others, but in the end, he is one of the few guys that actually cares enough about this problem to develop a fix.
For me, my very successful years owning and beating Porsches without an engine failure made me delay doing what I knew I should do. That and being way too busy....
