Part of the problem is the extreme costs to have

these engines repaired/upgraded. I am sure LN, Flat Six Innovations and the like do excellent work, but the costs of their services and parts pretty much rules out the financial sense in repairing any 986 model boxster when the costs approach 20k...there just are not many/any 20k dollar 986's left out there.

This upped the total repair bill to $20k and the owner of the car called it quits.
