Buying a 996 with new rebuilt motor by Autostrauss
I am purchasing a 1999 996 C4 Cab..motor was rebuilt in December 05 by Autostrauss in Orange county california. has anyone had motor work done by them. they gave previous owner a 6 month warranty and it only has 2500 miles on rebuild. any feedback would be appreciated.

Seller tells me that he had a piston break and water came in a siezed engine. he was second owner and porsche would not warranty...they did give him $4k of his $10k total bill. he had sensors replaced also at this time.
