Hi fellow Boxster owners.

My 2005 Boxster S broke down and had to be towed to my local Porsche dealer. They said the Intermediate Shaft was broken and most likely needed a new engine. My 4 year warranty just expired 3 months ago. The dealer said they will try to get Porsche corporate to give a replacement engine for goodwill (no cost) and that i would have to pay for labor to replace it ($2,200).
Does this sound right ?
Seems as if there is a systematic problem / issue w Porsche's intermediate shaft.
Any advice?

This could be my last Porsche is this issue is not satisfactorily and pleasantly resolved.

Help.
