I just purchased an 07 Boxster S last week with 24,000miles. Beautiful car!
I thought I would join some forums to rub elbows with fellow owners when I start reading about engine failures- AND MANY OF THEM! Ok... Is the 3.4 07 and later S engines any more durable, or should I bail out early??? I can't afford a replacement.
Any suggestions????

Drive your car the way it was meant to be driven, change your oil every 5k miles and sleep well. People rarely come to a forum to tell us their car runs great. They come here to ask questions and solve problems.

I understand your paranoia about engine failure. I have a 2001 Boxster base and had the IMS Guardian installed to give early warning of an Ims failure. Ln engineering makes it and I am not sure but now I think they make the Guardian for later Boxsters. I have had my car for almost a year as daily driver rain or snow. No problems after having done 5k miles in the last year . Car now has 40k miles. Yes that is so true that owners come on here mostly to get their problems solved. Yes regular oil changes are a must. I cant afford a new engine either but I do whatever it takes to prevent engine failure. So far so good.
If you're that worried, I recommend that you get the Guardian-B . If your vehicle starts exhibiting signs of IMS failure, it goes a step further and prevents you from driving it . I have it !
