High Mileage Boxster S

[Ghostrider 310]

IMO, 144K = no deal. It's not just the engine, all the other parts cv joints, shocks, springs have 150K on them. That's too tired of a car to buy without headaches unless one was purchasing it to do a ground up restore and even then the parts would kill you. There are a ton of good used Boxsters out there. I'd save some more and keep looking.

Ghostrider said just what I was going to type, so I'll just jump on the bandwagon and simply agree with him. Always fascinated me when I was in the business, a customer would come in and want the engine rebuilt in his 19xx whatever. Conveniently forgetting that all the other parts have the same mileage as the old motor did. Plenty of used Boxsters out there with far less miles on everything, you can choose a better one I think.

Good luck in your hunt!
