Im looking at a 08 GTS in Salt Lake City. It's been maintained at the dealer, and reading this thread (and the few other threads) have given me a level of trepidation.

I know there are several factors in play, but would you guys consider SLC a cold climate, high risk environment? I don't mind having to pay or DIY various part replacements, but a new engine is a different beast. All/any feedback is appreciated!

Cold climate alone is not the only thing. My 08 CTT has seen 85k miles in Northern Europe with regular subzero cold starts for it's entire 9 year life, but (knock on wood) it's still fine.

I think fuel quality also plays a BIG role, as in Russia there is a TON of Cayennes that suffer from this issue (and they have crappy fuel) while in other northern European countries you don't hear about it that much. Only in Moscow there are several specialized shops in Porsche V8 (and flat-6) post-scoring rebuilds.

Any update on this?
