Hello chaps , back on the 911 trail after a 8 year absence . Can't remember previous password so joined up all fresh
I previously enjoyed a 964tip (loved it like a child ) & a aerokitted 996C2 ( didn't keep that long after realising my big mistake in selling the aircooled )
Anyways ive been deep in the hunt for some time , done due diligence with my homework studies & feel i'm 85% educated but a couple of points are niggling me bad & thus keeping my wallet from opening
To keep it simple for now i have 2 questions id really appreciate forum thoughts on ( avid member of a similar forum & know what wealth of knowledge lies within these places )
1) lets say a 05/06 Carrera 3.6 or 3.8 had been well serviced & kept , even having a borescope inspection that was all good 10k ago , would that car if treat properly & cossetted be a better buy than a similar car without a borescope test as in could it still suffer a dreaded fail at any point ?
2) here's the big kicker that has been holding me back , i seem to read more & more that no matter what history , inspection or upkeep come 80k/100k /120k these engines WILL NEED a rebuild even if they show no outward signs of imminent failure ?
