Once I get this repaired I'm going to go the switched fan route.

That said...

Watcha think? Do I purchased used, and hopefully from a lower mileage specimen, or do I purchase that aftermarket new one for ~$65?

Thank you.
Sounds like it is the fan (as you had already figured out ) If there isn't a huge price difference I would go with new, but I have never priced them out. Both of my fans are going strong at 154,000 miles so a low mileage used one would probably last for a long time.

Adding the switch I feel really helped me, I used to just turn it on at the end of a session and I could really see the oil temp coming down, so then I got to where I just turned it on at the beginning of every track session.

My 987.2 Cayman, from what I understand, has variable speed fans that are not as easy to jumper them to run on high, so I haven't done that mod yet on the Cayman...
