Jay, IMHO you should be fine at least for another 35K or 40K more miles. I sold my 94, 965 last week, it had 90K. It was due for some major work - (A/C, PWR windows, front end, brakes, PNP,etc.) I did not want to put more $$ into a 10 yr old 960. Yes, this engine CAN be very expensive to repair, IF it breaks. Make sure you get that timing belt checked and changed EARLIER than required. This engine NEEDS to have an "Italian tune up" every 3 months - it really makes a huge difference. Hopefully, you are using ALL synthetic fluids. That engine is very smooth and powerful, enjoy it. You do NOT have to "baby" it - feel free to rev it and have fun. I bought a Toyota Solara Coupe V6, 3.3; what an amazing car. Best of luck.
