If you were really that worried, why'd you wait 'til now to change the oil and check the pan?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

With all the doom and gloom reading in here, anxiety has been high with my 996 purchase back in july. Did my first oil change today, and the filter didnt even have a hint of metal.
I felt confident with the previous owner, but you just never know
Wasnt planning on having it tested. I had a good feeling from the previous owner, an dthe oil had just been changed. It technically didnt need it, but i wanted to check for my own piece of mind.
With all the doom and gloom surrounding these cars, it makes it scary to enjoy it too much. I absolutely love to drive it, then i read here, its going to blow up any day
Take a break from the forum every once in a while. Otherwise, you'll be thinking about selling it more than enjoying it. Most forum posts are about issues with the car versus enjoyment of ownership unfortunately.
Thankfully there is no condom for driving a Porsche...you're either in or you're not. But when you're in it, enjoy the feeling. Soon you'll be in it all the time and you'll feel so good you won't have time to worry.
Enjoy it and don't worry, any car you buy could have a failure. Use everyone's advice here to be aware of potential problems but drive the car and have fun. I've had mine 6 months now and love every minute I'm driving it. Hell everything has a failure rate, I just got a recall notice on my pacemaker (failure rate under 1%). I drive around with the potential of my car or me blowing up. lol.
