I need advice; I have a beautiful 1998 Boxster with 23K miles on it that I am trying to sell... an interested buyer told me that he had learned of potential problems with Boxster engines that are a big liability... that he would not buy without having a separately purchased warranty in place. Is there really a systematic problem with these engines that can lead to serious failure or is this guy exaggerating? If so, what are the warning signs? Thank you!
