I want an S. $20k is probably above my budget. And the ones I'm looking for with under 50k miles are going for more than $20k, at least the real clean ones with an excellent demonstrated, documented service history are.

As far as the failure rate on the 987.1's, not saying you're wrong about the 1%, but I've seen numbers all over the map, just like I've seen numbers all over the map for the Gen 1 and Gen 2.
