This is my first post and hopefully one of many in the near future.

I am scouting the market for a car to daily drive and take to the track a couple of times a year. While my first choice would be a 2003/4 Boxster S, I have few cheap options in the area mainly 1999-2001 2.5 cars with 200.000km or 120k miles, hence the question. How many miles can the 2.5L engine go before a major overhaul and can it be reliably tracked?
Thanks in advance!
