Thanks.....My 20 year old Boxster with 80,000 miles is in great condition and I enjoy driving it. But IF my IMS were to ever "take a crap" I don't think I would spend the money to replace the engine (I'm NOT a DIY guy). Instead, I'd sell the car to someone who wants to drop a new engine in it and put the money towards a newer one. Maybe in the 2010 to 2013 range with a complete service history.
Having said that (and hopefully I will never have to) are there sources to sell a beautiful Boxster, in every way, except with a trashed engine? I'm not knowlegeable about part of the business.
