'Cos most buyers get them in Resale Grey or Dull Silver, sadly.

 

Is the 3.4 engine reliable mate?! Seen a few horror stories with this era of Porsche but don't really know my engine/chassis codes like I do with the japs.

Google for IMS failure, but you're looking anywhere around 5-10% failure rate on the M96/97 blocks.

 

Ouch :( Thanks.

 

 

Don't worry about any of that, just get a bore-scope inspection and full vehicle inspection before you buy, buy from a dealership, get warranty.

 

just enjoy the car IF you get one

Boroscope won't catch IMS. OPC warranty is the only one bothering with, and isn't available on cars over 10 years old.

 

I fully agree with you on both points though, I wouldn't buy a non-DFI car without the boroscope and I wouldn't buy any Porker without a full inspection.
