This is such an interesting topic. As has been posted in the past, those of us with a true 986 are looking at ~11-16 year old cars now, many with 100k+ miles. Realistically these cars are worth $5k-maybe $13k? As our engines get tired, there STILL isn't a viable option for an engine replacement that isn't close to 2x the value of our cars!
If we were looking at this from a pure financial perspective, we'd all sell our cars immediately. But we all know that is NOT why we own them. As with many of you, I'd be willing to spend 1x the value of my car on an reasonable engine replacement ($10k?) all in. But other than finding something used, that doesn't seem at all doable.
So, we all enjoy our cars while we can. Mourning those that succumb to the IMSB, or some other tragedy...hoping, wishing for a solution...someday...
