Not me. I DD'd my 2006 987 tip (even in the winter) for 3+ years. Bought it new and paid a total of $26 dollars for a burned out bulb in one tail. Dealer installation included. Total mileage around 26,000.
Had several check engine lights on my 2009 997.2S pdk. Though it was frustrating, didn't pay a penny for anything. When the battery went dead, dealer replaced it for free (out of warranty). Owned that car for 4+ years and it was a DD (until we moved to a higher elevation where the snow was too deep). Total mileage around 28,000.
Currently, my 981 pdk has been worry free. Had one problem where the iPod hook-up recessed behind the plastic part; however, dealer fixed it before I went 2 miles in the dealer-supplied drive back to work. Total mileage near 1100.
Granted, none of these cars were high mileage cars, but I don't buy into the gloom and doom of these transmissions [but I
do buy my homes in this economy so take my words with a grain of sand as I'm sure to have invalidated my opinion
] and find that they can be "fun".
