Would it be wiser, however to go with a 987? And how much truth is there to the rumors of engine failure on the 986s?
Thank you!

I say drive both & deceide which you want as they are very different, not the least of which is 993 resale value is at all-time high & Boxster's are at all-time low. Engine failures in Boxsters is not a rumor nor is it limited to 986's, it seems to inflict about 10% of 97-07 models about the same as 993's with premature valve guide failure. So a PPI is mandatory for any of these cars. If you are going for looks & don't care about power go for a perfect 1999 Boxster with lots of service records.
