I wondered the same thing. Many of the 97's and 98's have new engines in them for one reason or another. Mine does.
There were some mid year 98's that produced catastrophic failure. Garage queens you find that are manufactured for that three or four month period (can't remember which months, sorry) with original motors should probably be avoided.
If you don't yet own a boxster, I would definitely keep saving and buy one with a 3.2 in it and avoid the 2.5 and 2.7 motors altogether... you will be happy you did after you get the car. I sure wish I did.
The 2.5 is peppy and very satisfying if you drive mostly on twisty roads for pleasure. However, if you drive it to work every day and want to nail it to get on the freeway, prove to the kid in the Mustang GT that your car is fast and vastly more expensive to own and maintain, and/or straight line performance has any importance to you, the 3.2 will satisfy that need.
