I know alot rests on who maintained the car, but when do the motors start to get tired?
I saw one at Hershey two yrs. ago that had 200k miles on the unrebuilt engine. The V-ram engines get the CEL eventually, but when depends on how and how often you drive it. I flog the piss ou of my car, even though I don't track it anymore. I'm at 50k miles now and so far no CEL. And the CEL no longer requires a rebuild to remedy. Someone look up my old thread on buying 993's in the Tech. Forum. This weekend at our tech session, there were two white C2S's (what are the odds of those being in the same place at the same time?). One belonged to a guy who said he was using 1 qt. of oil per 600 miles and he had 50k miles on the clock. He had his engine tray still on. So I took it off and there was 1/2 of oil right there. Turned out his small oil filter was not very tight. I'd be worried about cars driven 50k miles in hot climates that still had their engine undertrays still on.
