Not sure what the actual chances are but I have an acquaintance with a 997.1, bought new that is on its third engine on Porsche's dime. He has some miles on the car, (can't remember exact mileage), but it lunched one engine @ 30-40k miles and then the first replacement sometime later. I'll try to get some further details. It is an early 997S.
I've known other people with '05 997s who bought them new and have been driving the snot out of them for ten years without so much as a hiccup. I'd love one for the right price.
