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.

What should one watch for with a '99 that has a ton of miles but an engine (new from Porsche) replaced in 2005? I'm assuming of course that the later engines cleaned up some issues. Transmission is the first thing that comes to mind,. Anything else other than the typical 996 snafus that would have been exposed by this age? (RMS, coolant, etc)
how much are you getting the 05 engine for and how many miles on it?
Another blown engine Porsche, the word on the street is that the remanufactured engine wont blow but it seems the previous owner doesn't/didn't want to take that chance after his 2 year warranty expired.
I don't have a mileage count on the new engine but it appears to be new. This seems like a good way to try to go....new engine, older car. The car is very cheap. I'd get the PPI to concentrate a lot on the transmission, anywhere else?
Brock - did you find this car in Vancouver?
I would want it to be a documented replacement with a warranty. Also, check the age and condition of the shocks and other suspension components.
