02' engine blown!

I was driving casually in rush hour traffic and my boxster stalls on me. I go it towed to an independent Porsche mechanic and they did a compression test and said that the engine is toast! Of course, the surprise big ticket quote was just icing on the cake.

I thought this engine problem was reserved more for the older boxsters. Has anyone with an 02' or newer experienced this problem? Any thoughts on whether to go with a new engine or try to source a used one? Does anyone know where to look for another engine?

This is the worst news ever! And I was just starting to love my boxster! Sigh...
