Keith, Yes thats true, good point. Though I've also seen cars advertised with what's left of a warranty, sometimes with only 30-50k miles on them. Maybe these were CPO cars or something, if Porsche even does that. Maybe I need to go talk to a dealer. But back to your point, unless I got really unlucky and had a RMS related failure, how bad could it be? My m3 is a car that in the last two years I have done nothing to but oil changes and tires and have covered 30k miles. The m3 now has almost 140k on it. 996s in the 35 k range, 3.4s that is, seem to normally have 40-70k miles on them. I have been researching this for a while and that mileage seems to be just about the best bet for avoiding RMS problems (they've either shown up if they were going to and were fixed, or havent and therefore won't), as far as I have found. I would, of course, have it inspected. Oh and I would always have help from my parents if I couldn't make a payment or a repair bill.

How has yours been, Keith? any pics?
