I hope you have some luck with Porsche NA on this one.

I've been researching Boxsters for the last few months and I'm seriously considering buying a 2001 (or newer) near the first of the year.

It's posts like yours though that make me rethink the prospective purchase. Porsche has to realize the Boxster Engine problem is hurting the brand. How many other prospective buyers have been scared off by the prospect of a $9500 engine replacement at 26,000 miles? Perhaps the used market would be more robust without such issues.

Does anyone know the percentage of Boxsters that have had catastrophic engine failure?

I would certainly feel better about purchasing a Boxster if I could find a reliable pre-owned warranty program with $1000 (or higher) deductible. So far, I haven't been able to find any program that looks legit.

Again, sorry to hear about the engine. Good luck.
