Capitalism is a system where the country's trade and business are controlled by private owners for a profit. His utterance made no sense and that is not what capitalism is about. He is basically saying he can upcharge on car parts because his customers have no alternative or do they? That is the only way he could have pricing power like that. I used to have a CLS 63 and I always went to a mechanic that didn't upcharge (by allowing me to buy the part) and did a great job. I avoided mechanics that would upcharge and for what? Better service??? LOL! However, the ultimate blame is always born by the customers who patronize the business and keep certain deleterious practices alive.

@Bones McGillicuddy Except, you do not need a mechanic's guarantee through an upcharged part especially if the mechanic would choose the same part that you bring to him, you blithering idiot. It is not like the mechanic has access to some "super" part that a mere mortal can only dream of purchasing. Also, have you ever heard of the term "logic" ? Probably not since you have the IQ of a kindergartner. What would happen to a mechanic's business, one that allowed customer's to bring parts (like many do), if there were consistent problems? Genius, the reputation of the mechanic would be at risk and his business would suffer immensely. The sales spiel of telling you that the work is guaranteed if the mechanic supplies the part is just that...a spiel. The mechanic's reputation is on the line whenever he does the work because he would get called out and destroyed in the marketplace if the identical work performed was problem free only in the instance that he supplied the part himself and not in the instance that a customer brought it to him. The fact that you get fleeced all the time is your own problem. A funny one at that :)

Especially the IMS issue. WHY it happens is an odd convergence of North American speed limits and oil formulations. Either one is not enough, necessarily, but together, it's a problem waiting to happen. The oil in Europe for high performance vehicles is *much* higher quality than what we use in the U.S., with only a literal handful of exceptions. The engine is also designed to be revved/run to high rpms regularly (4K+). So you don't change the oil enough, get it changed at a place with U.S. cheap oil ( which all of the dealerships use to save money), and unlike in Germany, have no Autobahn to wind the thing out every so often. Some sludge, slightly old acidic oil, and so on, plus loafing around at 2K rpms in town and yeah - the bearings start to wonder where all the oil went. This interestingly enough is what killed so many Mazda rotary engines in RX8s. Not enough revs, not enough speed, and not monitoring the oil closely enough. That's the thing with a Porsche - you have to drive it almost like you stole it and be super religious on service intervals. Americans just aren't USED to hearing an engine at 4-5K rpm and thinking that's normal. We just aren't. There's a reason that thing is a "bargain" at $15K - because someone likely treated it like garbage.

If that IMS bearing goes out before your clutch does, you're going to be ponying up for a new engine. Hope you factored that into your clutch budget. Fixing the IMS bearing is cheaper than either one. That's not something I recommend procrastinating on, Mr. Big Spender. Just for grins and giggles, phone up the Porsche parts counter and get a quote on a new engine. For safety reasons, make sure you're sitting down when you get the quote.

A Ferrari is still just a car. If you can work on your vette, no reason you can’t work on a Ferrari. If you go with a 360 or later they are quite reliable and much easier to work on earlier models. No engine out service. I own two p-cars and do all my own work. Once you get your mind around the engineering it’s not any more difficult than any other car. There’s a normal guy here on KZitem who built a channel around that name. He’s on his second Ferrari and does all his own work. If you want to see what’s involved add super car to the end of normal guy and you’ll see Ferrari ownership isn’t too bad. Parts are still expensive, but that’s typical for just about every European car.

I have a 996 C2 with the X51 kit. I've had it for 12 years and it has gone 113K miles. It has been relatively cheap to keep on the road. But the last year more and more things fail. But it's still worth keeping. I repair/service it for around 10-15% of the value of the car each year. My friend bought a 991.2 Turbo S, and I now see that I need a new 911. Going to buy a 991.2 GTS 4, but I just bought the new Toyota Rav4 Plug-in Hybrid, so I have to keep the 996 for at least 2 more years. I have been very happy with my 996. It's the best and most reliable car I've ever had. I really recommend the 996, if you find one with low milage. PS, I still have the original IMS :D

Just happened to find this video and was looking at the 996 part with the window not going down. And I have to disagree with the Wizard, it can be the window regulator, but also the microswitch in the door lock. The problem differs on whether the window will never go down and have trouble working when actuated via the power window controls (regulator), of if it will sometimes comes down when opening, but jumps up again when pulling the door away from the car, i.e. clearing the lock pin. (then it will probably be the microswitch). The lock is kinda similar to other locks of the VAG brand, but Porsche modified the mechanism so it is a little slimmer. IIrc, you can fit certain Passat locks after filing down some plastic arms. But: VAG Asia actually sells a kit of a microswitch and some leads and solder connectors to replace the switch inside the lock, since the lock is very expensive and in other countries labor is so cheap that it is a viable option. The part number is 3BD 998 786 - applies to basically any VAG car of the late 90s/early 2000s (Golf IV, Bora, Passat etc...). Worked fine on my 996 Targa.
