It's true that Porsche had to add four oil pumps to their latest engines to cut down on the alarming number of failures, but there are still plenty of nagging problems with them not to mention the added cost of normal maintenance. Here is another problem that they've had forever that still exists....water pump failures at disturbingly low miles:

Ok master porsche technician. I'm obviously not looking to buy a CS. I got your message and am impressed with your "knowledge" on p cars. Time to move on to bigger things in life.

Not selling that I know of but I thought you were looking for a mechanic (?) in your area. Anyway, always good to know another owner nearby.

Only problem I had with my my08 is the TCT went bad at about 40k other than that not a one. Unless you consider battery replacement a problem but other than that its been a dream.

What was wrong with the 370z besides the overheating issue? (I heard that's easily fixed with an oil cooler)

332hp, lighter than 350z, questionable looks.
