The $13,500 Porsche Bill: We Fixed the IMS Bearing & Everything Else on my 996

Описание: After a post-purchase inspection revealed a list of potential problems, my Porsche 996 went in for some major work. The plan was to tackle the IMS bearing upgrade, a job that requires a full-scale engine drop. While the engine was out, we performed a comprehensive mechanical overhaul, which left my wallet feeling very, very light.

In this video, we're doing a full breakdown of the final invoice from Ruben, our trusted mechanic.

I'll walk you through every single part, every hour of labour, and every unexpected cost that came up during the two weeks my car was in the shop.

This, my friends, is the brutal honesty of owning a classic sports car.

If you saw my last video, then you'll know the original quote was a bit of a shock, so buckle up as we tackle the final bill.*
