You seem to carry a lot of angst about the cost of a Porsche engine rebuild. Porsche cars have never been inexpensive to own. They are expensive to buy new, and while used examples have entered the realm of being relatively inexpensive to buy, owning and operating them is is different story. If you were led to believe otherwise, I am sorry.
The nice thing about them is that when you spend the $$ to fix them properly, they stay fixed. They are also worth fixing. Go ahead and buy an 8k Mini. If the engine blows up, its going to the crusher. There is no value to fixing it. Every $ I put into my 1979 930 (including a very expensive engine build), I got back when I sold it. I also got to drive the wheels off it for 8 years and over 20k miles.
