2003 Boxster s blown worth?

[EZE]

I also blew the engine on my 2003 Boxster S 2 weeks ago. Was sitting at a light and and noticed a huge amount of smoke coming from my exhaust. By the time I was able to pull over, the engine was whining then shut down with smoke pouring out. Not sure what to do. May be able to get 8K for it as is. Not worth putting new engine. Does anyone think it is worth going after Porsche?

What do you mean go after them? The engine definitely has some design flaws, but I don't think they will do anything. Especially with an 8 year old car
