Porsche ate it, since it was their replacement motor w 60k miles and car was all dealer serviced on time. It's a street driven car, no abuse. Just normal spirited driving.
I'd love for you to be right, since I'd buy one if you were but this is the first I've ever heard anyone say that an '06 is a significant design change.  |
Sorry about your friend's troubles.
IMS was updated by Porsche in 2006. Late 2006 to end of production M97 2008 cars had revised engines. This netted significant drop in engine failures.
