Never miss an opportunity to remind us you own a Porsche.
Porsche the company is not the best brand to bring up in a discussion of customer relations and customer support. You must know about the notorious Intermediate Shaft Bearing used on type 996 Porsches from 1999 to 2006 and thereafter in 997s possibly up to 2011 (it's a bit unclear to me exactly when the factory fixed the underlying problem), which part can fail by emitting iron filings into the oil supply and thereby kill the entire engine in only a few thousand miles, albeit that rarely happened. But more than a few persons had to replace low mileage engines at their own cost until the factory finally caved in and after many law suits. Why 996s are so relatively cheap to this day.
