If I had read this post ahead of time. I would never own the Boxster I own today. 1999 Boxster that at 37,xxx miles the engine blew in 2008 and the PO had a new Porsche replacement engine installed. I purchased it in 2013 with 57,xxx miles on it for $12k. I'm super happy I did what I did, even in ignorance. I was LUCKY that the engine had been replaced with the Porsche solution. Granted probably not as good as Jake Raby's but still. It's a pure joy to drive aside from worrying about deer jumping out in front of me or making sure I park way out in the south 40 parking lot so my car doesn't get door dings.
