Unhappy Tiptronic is "Toast"

Purchased a 1999 Boxster with 66,000 miles on it. Owned by a person that really took good care of it. Performed all maintenance with records to prove it.

It just turned 70,000 miles and the Tiptronic transmission just quit working. I now need a rebuilt or used transmission. I can't believe that it is broken. I have been very careful to drive in a safe and reasonable manner. You would think that these cars could take it. Guess they are just as bad as the Mercedes SL series. I owned one of these and it was a hole that I poured money into. This will be my last German car. I will go back to Japanese vehicles that seem to run forever without major problems.
