Well after the warranty company made me pay $2k in useless parts and to tear down the engine to show them the broken piston they denied by claim. I know it is a horrific expereince and I am talking to lawyers etc BUT I need my car running and I cant spend the 17K Porsche is asking. I got another qoute for 11K with a 2 year warranty on the engine but i kind of want to stay in the 4-5K range. Can anyone direct me where to go to get a reliable used engine for this price?? Its a 2001 Boxster S. Thanks for your help.
