Brenda,
I went through the same situation and am your neighbor.You have my sympathy but you really need lots of money to fix the problem,not sympathy!
The best solution(mechanically) is a replacement used engine. Financially that is mad because the total cost ($7000) may exceed the value of your car. I can refer you to a few local engine refitting /repairing places if you wish ?
The problem is that these cars have a diminished used value - partially because of the issue you and I have. So expensive repairs are only justified if money is no object.
Your car is what is called a "Roller" there is a market for them -particularly in Los Angeles.Yours is probably an automatic(?) and not an "S" - so it may be worth approx $3000. Try it on Craigs List ?
This may be a good Forum to ask what you should buy to replace your Boxster if you can tell us what you liked/disliked about it.
I hope this helps you.
