Those are fighting words kid Best of luck with whatever you decide. If I were you, I'd likely sell the car outright without the motor and get newer S model. The gearing and additional power may be a better fit for your driving style.

But I believe you are right. Based on the 99 and 03 I drove, my options are either new engine, very well maintained 2.5 manual, or S. this changes the equation a bit.
I think I next I need to see what type of auto loan I could qualify for. Called place I bought boxster from and said I'm good but didn't say how high. Think I'll call current lender, explain situation, see if they'll give me another loan and roll currently loan with new loan. If enough maybe S is a possibility?

If I don't qualify then engine swap might be the only option for now
