Replacement engine from Porsche means what?
Discussion
I'm not surprised to see some ads talking about replacement engines - forums are full of bore scoring /IMS /RMS etc etc. And I know forums are a place to moan/highlight problems, and you don't come on here saying "my car was fine today".
But anyway, my question, when Porsche "replace an engine", is it a new one, a re-con, or what? Or does it depend?
Example here http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2013... , so what would they have put in a 5-yr old (at the time) Cayman S? A Gen 1 new engine (would they have a stock of Gen 1 in 2011). Or a Gen 2?
If a Gen 2, then this must be a pretty good buy? I know a lot would be put off by "replacement engine" on an ad, but for me it depends what they replaced it with, who did it, other history around the car etc.
OK, I could phone up about this car, but I guess it's a more generic question about what their policy is on replacing engines? (I appreciate it depends if the customer paid for it - if so, then I guess he could get whatever he was prepared to pay for! I just assumed that Porsche partly at least contributed).
