Been thinking about this one and need some opinions...

There is certainly a trend developing, although at this point I wouldn't necessarily say all cars will experience the failure. It's for sure something to think about when considering purchase of a GT1 variant 996.

Adhesives are used in many applications where high strength and high temperature resistance is required.

Me either, just curious. If they did not continue to use an adhesive for the coolant lines, I would question why considering the context of this discussion.

Not against doing the Carfax, but I believe the dealer has already done one and he will be sending it to me. All I'm saying that it seems to me that a ppi will probably give me a better idea of whether I want to buy this one or not. I actually have a buddy in that area who is going to go by and look at it for me. He's a car guy and owns a bunch of different ones, including a mid eighties turbo. Don't worry, I will proceed slowly and deliberately. If it sells, prior to completion of my due diligence, it just wasn't the one for me.
If you don't you risk losing a good car to another buyer who is more efficient and reaches a decision point before you.

I can understand someone having reservations about a car not having the cooling pipes welded/pined but I personally would not reduce the price of my car or pay to have it done just to sell my car. If I decide to have it done while doing other maintenance or just because I'm concerned is another matter.

And I'm but one of many.

This is a good read on how adhesives are used to secure metal-to-metal joints where there is going to be transfer torsional movement or power from a shaft to a hub. Certainly if adhesives can be used in these applications, they can secure non-moving coolant pipe ends.

And do you think for a skinny minute that metal fasteners/parts/welds don't fail?

Another thing, it says a lot when PCA-sanctioned race events REQUIRE affected model year 911s to have corrected coolant lines in order to participate.
