986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners - View Single Post - Another one bites the dust

The co-owner of this forum has a Mazda Miata with a tubocharged engine (aftermarket). Great little car and very quick indeed.

Long story short, he decided to find another used engine to replace the existing one, which has a bad head.

Cost shipped to his door? $850.

My point of course is that with our Boxsters, it is not just that they seem to always have some issue, but that the cost of the issue seems to always be ridiculous..

I am not suggesting that everyone go out and buy a Miata. I am suggesting that Porsche in some sense, playing us all for suckers on the cost of repairs side of the ledger.
