Well I got 3 options.

1) Find a used engine.
2) Sell the car.
3) Talk to Porsche.

Option 1 - wouldn't give me any confidence at all, since I'm buying a used engine with little history to go with it, not to mention it could have IMS problems unless I put additional money into it. And not to mention the downtime, few months wouldn't be out of the question.

Option 2 - not going to happen. I will get nothing for it and not to mention I still like driving it.

Option 3 - most sensible option, since it's a new engine and will have the latest IMS upgrade from the factory. 2 year warranty. No mileage as well which I'm rolling back 68,000 KM.


They might have more incentives to give me a free engine if I'm the first owner and I brought the car to the dealer every single time I needed something done. Would I have done things differently knowing this? Perhaps. I'm just rolling the dice like everyone else and I wouldn't be paranoid over it. But one thing for sure, if the time comes to buy another Boxster it will be a 2009 or newer.
