of course that's true. but there's also a preponderance of evidence to indicate that
most fail in the mileage range discussed. A commensurate statistic exists to suggest that the likelihood of failure outside of that "window" is reduced dramatically.
JFP, you are absolutely the expert to my novice-ness (I made that word up, haha), and I would immediately bow to your superior knowledge in any arena regarding this car. I'm simply doing the math.
Many or most of us getting into the 986 NOW (when the car is 15 to 20 years old), have entered the 986 world because it's CHEAP FUN. Anything we do to start ruining the CHEAP part, also detracts from the FUN part.
ANY / EVERY used car is a gamble... I'd suggest that the number & likelihood of things that can and do go catastrophically-wrong with a used car, make the frequency of IMS-failure
relatively insignificant.
