I just had a new water pump installed by my "indi" shop (in the Chicago suburbs) on my 1998 Boxster (w/85,000 original miles). The total came to $1,100 for parts, labor, coolant etc. Since the car has been virtually trouble free for the 20 years I've owned it I consider it just normal ownership costs. YES, of course I could have saved money by doing it myself but that's just not my thing and I have no way to work from under the car. The original WP lasted 20 years so I'm hoping to get another 20 from this new pump....lol.
