Will do the finances, and figure out a way to pay

A middling spec BMW 4 Series would cost you £480 a month on a 2 year deal that equates to £11520 for the 2 years
For the year 3 & 4 you decided to go for a half decent spec'd E Class AMG @ £562 that's £13488 in total for your new Merc.
Over 4 years you just spent £25008 and now you have no car to show for your £25k, so that's £6252 per year on average.
Clearly your Porsche isn't a new car but going back to Phil's Man Maths If you consider MFP's Lease Calculator then you even further better off with your Harlech machine than even Phil would have you

agreed , if you buy another, there is nothing to stop it blowing, better to get a rebuilt engine, then another potential worn engine. What it that one went as well? My Hartech has ringed liners, new chains, bearings IMS it has to better than a 100k motor.MisterCorn said:In terms of money I doubt it makes much difference. You had a car which was worth £20k, you now have a car which is worth £10k. If you fix it it is worth £20k again. The only thing for certain is that you are out of pocket by £10k. Sorry to hear that, but it is an unfortunate risk in owning a 996/997. Personally, if I liked the car and wanted to keep it I woild see it as an opportunity for upgrades. I would rather spend £12k to get it back better than before than spend £10k to have it just the same.

Car is in otherwise good condition i bought in 2015 (54 plate) from RSJ.
if it costs me £8-10k and the car is worth (around 20-25) is it worth it? any advice would be great.
