[QUOTE=sc_rufctr;9681283]Sorry Jeff but once again...

Considering how Porsche price their new cars these should be near perfect at delivery and last well beyond 200,000 miles without any major issues. (320,000 Km)[\quote]

Peter, I'm not disagreeing with any of this. I stated earlier that we should expect that when the car is well maintained and treated with respect. Porsche, however, have no control over that. We don't either when we buy a used one.

That term is really being misapplied with respect to the process under discussion. Again, they are simply using the good components, from motors that failed their tests or inspections in one way or another, to complete the assembly of other motors. These are still every bit as "new" as any other motor that leaves their engine build up shop, and still must pass all of the same quality checks. They are not inferior in any way.
