Do we have any type of incidence or prevalence data on failure rates? We're talking about motors that are well aged at this point. You can weigh $400 against the likelihood of failure with that data and make an informed decision - without true failure data, we have no idea if this is a worthwhile investment. The online community tends to amplify problem incidence as well...

If this has happened to 3-5% of 1999 cars, I wouldn't consider it a worthwhile investment at a 20 to 1 hedge. If it's 20%, then mebbe.
