I'm sure it doesn't make you feel any better at all, but I feel your pain.

yea, I know. A lot of people with these cars feel my pain. if I had to do it all over again, Id buy a brand new porsche with warranty. Note would be more, but still less than all these repairs.

The co-owner of this forum has a Mazda Miata with a tubocharged engine (aftermarket). Great little car and very quick indeed.

Long story short, he decided to find another used engine to replace the existing one, which has a bad head.

Cost shipped to his door? $850.

My point of course is that with our Boxsters, it is not just that they seem to always have some issue, but that the cost of the issue seems to always be ridiculous..

I am not suggesting that everyone go out and buy a Miata. I am suggesting that Porsche in some sense, playing us all for suckers on the cost of repairs side of the ledger.
