I am not a pepper wagon expert but have been toying with the idea of adding one to the fleet . In my research via the net the V6 models have less engine issues than their V8 cousins . I think it was 2008 or 2009 when the V6 went to 3.6 litres , if you can find a clean one I would recommend it . Like any used Porsche get the cleanest and with the best records you can . I am not 100 % sure but I don't think any of the V6 models suffered from the " coolant pipe " issues .
If you are going to do a lot of towing or you carry four passengers on a regular basis then maybe the V8 is a better option . I have been told by a local Porsche guru that the V8's suffer from bore scoring but it's kind of like the IMS......... hit or miss . Same expert said the bottom ends are bullet proof .
