Feels to me like this sort of event is a good motivator to make a change - upgrade is always the best change, if funds allow.
Dealers tend to ask no questions at trade-in, perhaps they assume the worst already and build it into the low-ball offer they normally give. I’m assuming that’s why so many of us have older 911’s in our garage that we have just held on to. I know that’s my excuse!

Ended up having to replace the ECU!! Sometime during the issue, removal or install it was fried. Car has been up and running now for 3 weeks. Running strong!!! So final bill $13,500 all IN.
So this is what 500HP feels like!

Bummer to hear about the ECU but glad to hear you're back on the road and running! I bet you feel good knowing you have grand new springs, valves, and guides. Nice and fresh.

But I do always buy an extended service contract on my Porsche's. I have one on my GT3 from Easy Care. I had the V10 in my old e60 M5 blow and Easy care paid for a complete rebuild, less my $500 deductible.
