4 k and the water pump was replaced? If that's the case then that was very early in the cars life. As for the alternator I replace mine in my 03 right at 70,000 miles. I also needed brakes and rotors. If you can't get a ppi find someone who knows these cars even if it cost you a little cash. Knowing what issues the car may have before buying it can really make a difference.

VIN number information

Is there any website/ database to provide you more information of a specific boxster VIN number?

Carfax?

Porsche can do a certificate of authenticity to see if motor has been swapped.
