Thanks all for your input. I guess your right. Even with the history of Boxster engine problems, at 82K miles and a 2003, Porsche has no obligation,etc. It just makes me so pissed. I maintained it impeccably, never raced it, bla, bla, bla. I was just sitting at a red light and more smoke than I have ever seen started spewing out of the tailpipe and then it died. No warning lights ever came on. I WISH I had been red-lining it! At least I could justify the failure somehow. I expected more from a Porsche engine. Hell, my 1980 Fiat Spider had almost 100K and I drove that harder than the Boxster.

I plan to cut my losses and sell as-is. I will let you all know how much I was able to get for it.

Thanks again
