That's too bad. A visit to the Rennlist prior to a purchase might have saved him some grief.

Not only does he own it but he has no regrets either.

I will be the first to admit, I don’t always make good decisions. I could be making a bad decision knowingly but I still do it. But I don’t want any 997. I want this one. If I take it back then I wouldn’t get another, most likely. When I bought this one I wasn’t on the market. Hell I was shopping for a friend and saw this one. And had to have it. To me, the fact that it was a race car makes me want it even more. Every aspect of this car is completely flawless. I am passionate about Porsche but even more with this car. I will be satisfied if I can get the car fixed.

hausherrs......since you seem determined to keep it, best of luck. Hope it turns into the experience you're looking forward to.

Thanks for the info. Transporters are coming to pick up the car today and take it to Austin to have the engine repaired. Anyone that read the other thread I started would know that the engine is being replaced/repaired under warranty. The dealership that I bought the car from is making all the arrangements. The engine that is in the car currently has not been over reved. Those numbers are from the previous engine that has been replaced. The current engine is under warranty and has a rattle that will be addressed monday, this is why its going to Austin. But I have the before and after engine replacement numbers and all the over revs are what caused the first engine failure. Thats why porsche is honoring the new engine warranty. New engine has 1k on it and remaining 1.5 year warranty.

Thanks again,

Steven
