I have ZERO history on the car, I bought in on a whim (better half agreed to get it instead of Chevy Aveo)

It's most probably original clutch.. but it runs good.. now that I finally changed my engine mount + 60K service.. my little Boxster runs perfect!

$200 clams an hour?!! Holy **************** good to know the recession is over already.
Well when the stealership is charging those sorts of labor rates I guess the Indy is in a good position to keep his above average too. Although that has more to do with supply and demand... if there aren't many indys in that area then they'll leverage that.

p.s.
send in a sample for an oil analysis, pretty inexpensive. I think some members on this board have posted their results. Might give you some background on the state of things.
