Ouch. That's really too bad. If you can get her home and do some of the work yourself, that will save you a lot of money, as the biggest cost on these things is the labour. Parts are high, but not crazy. Maybe a good project to do over the winter?

I'm thinking about doing just that. She was supposed to be coming off the road in about ten days anyways. The mechanic told me that shes safe to drive just not to go above 130km/h.

They should be hitting me with a price in a hour or two however Im guessing its going to be 5-6,000 with all the work they quoted me. That's a bit much. If its over 6 im better off just buying another boxster.
