I bought my 2000 Boxster 2.5 years ago with 43K on the clock. I was the third owner. I have done a lot of non-essential mods to the car, but I think it was only the clutch, brakes and rear window that actially needed fixing. The car does seem to be very well built . It now has 83K on the odometer and is running very strong.

I think I have spent more modding the car than it originally cost me (21K) so I plan on driving it until it needs a new engine, then I will put in the biggest and best I can afford. My first choice would be one of Jake's 3.6L engines, but I may have to settle for a rebuilt 3.4L or 3.6L. Hopefully I can get another 80K out of the car before I need one.
