Now waiting for the PDK to go kaput under extended warranty as do not wish to eat that >$20K replacement!

It's the garage queens any potential buyer would wish to shy away from as we near the 10 year warranty limit. Unless of course money is of no object, and there are many P-Car buyers with $$$ to burn for which I am not one, lol.
Is there a Porsche logo somewhere that reads, "PORSCHE, MEANT TO BE DRIVEN" with a flying pegasus? HA!

All original motors are not doomed to fail. I test drove a 2015 F motor car that had 109K miles on it. At the 4-5K miles I put on my car yearly that could get me 15 more years!

When I bought my car in Dec 2018 the general consensus was the .1s would be worth less then $100K by the end of 2019. That certainly didn't turn out to be the case.

If a buyer has the money, they won’t be buying a .1.

All depends on the buyer. Some prefer a .1 whereas others prefer a .2 or otherwise.

Thank me later for all the new confidence in your engine you just gained.
