didn't you buy that Cayman CPO and then had to have work done on it right after for oil consumption ? I seem to remember something like that about this car .

well, right now at 200k kms it's what, a $20k car? without engine it's an $8k car? $12k to put a new engine in? say a replacement with fewer kms or a newer model is $30k?
options, presuming you want to stay in a p-car:
engine stays good and you have a $20k asset.
you sell it for $20k and put $10k in for a $30k replacement. out $10k but have $30k asset.
you drive it until engine goes, replace engine for $12k. out $12k and have a $20k asset.
you drive it until engine goes, sell $8k roller and buy replacement $30k p-car. out $22k and have a $30k asset.
brain says sell and replace, heart says take the risk that engine lives forever.
