<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent;">I was looking at Porsche 996 and 997 recently (1999-2008 911). Problem is, they have this thing called an Intermediate Shaft Bearing. It is a roller bearing, goes out without warning, at any random time it feels like it, and ruins the engine by filling the oiling system with shards of metal. New engine = $20K. </font></div>
<div> </div>
<div>The recommendation is to change it every 50,000 miles ($2K-- have to pull the tranny) but no one will guarantee it will last that long.</div>

Buying an exotic can be difficult.<br>
<br>
Then again, being a journalist and having to go to the dealership to have oil changed is probably even more difficult!<br>
