Brand X - I will probably sell by 200k
MrBonus - thanks for the compliment
jasper - drive yours more!
TAILWAG - thanks for the compliment
Nicolaasdb - haha
CosmosC4S - you are lucky it wasnt the separator
ArneeA - maybe a Toyota?
michael.s.under - enjoy the next 20k

Great report - thanks for debunking the "996s are as bad as a Ford Taurus" BS.

Congrats. I have 14k left to go, which should happen around the same time as the CPO warranty expires next May. The CPO has paid for two RMS fixes and a water pump so far, plus both cats. I had RoW M030 fitted around 75k, and the car feels almost new.
Can't decide whether I'll keep it after the warranty goes, or try to get a deal on a CPO Cayman S.

At least you don't have to worry about replacing a clutch.

Come on Raid, don't you know that you never ever brag about something like this. Now you've angered the gremlin gods.

You always want to break the cars will. Teach it who's boss and it will step in line.
