Everyone,

My 2002 Boxster S lost its intermediate shaft today at 85K miles.

The dealer says I need a new motor at a cost of $19,000 !!!!!!!!

Their answer was "yea, this happens"

Does this sound right, has anyone gotten Porsche to take any responsibility for this?

I cant see spending $19K on a car that might not be worth $19K in book value.

HELP????????
