WB, it appears it's luck of the draw, and my luck ain't always that good. My biggest concern would be the cylinder sleeve. As I've stated, that Cabriole is gorgeous, but he admits there's water leak in the #3 cylinder. Could be a head, but from what I've read, it's more likely a cylinder issue and the motor is most likely not a candidate for rebuild, which would be real pricey anyway. I know I can get great deals on 996's all day, but would pout for a year (or more) if I picked up 'deal' and end up with a motor like that. I suppose it's fair to say it's a Porsche, and if I can't deal with potential gremlins then buy a Pinto. But hey, already had one of those!
