2001 base with 42,000 when the original water pump started to leak. Changed it plus the coolant tank at the same time.

Yep

A sure sign of lack of quality control.

No documentation from 1st owner. No water pump done with 2nd or myself. Therefore 40k miles likely on original water pump on 2001 base Boxster.

Very poor design....I've put two pumps on mine.
I purchased my 1999 Boxster in 2009 with 104,000 miles, and the pump went out a short time later. Then after reading Excellence Magazine, this forum and Renn Tech I changed it again after going 60,000 miles as preventive maintenance. I've got 182,000 miles on the car right now.
