Got the call from the Indy.

AOS - Gone - $240 repair
60K Service + Tubes - $1200
Water Pump has play - recommend replacemnt - $1100

Also...
Tires need replacement $900 and alignment $240.

I am going with the top 3 and taking the tires up with the shop I got them at and enjoyed less than 10K miles on them. Warranty is 15-30k miles so we will see.

It seems reasonable. The water pump was a bit surprising. He said it is a 5 hour job and I will end up with a coolant flush too.

Should I see if he has the Low Temp Thermostat and replace that?

Glad to see it was the AOS.

BTW the price of the 60k service is high. I paid about $750 for mine. AOS replace is very fair. The water pump is also very high. The pump is about $250 plus other material and another 7 bills for 5 hour labor is high. Definitely replace the thermostat. You may want to shop around on these two items. I'm sure other members will chime in with thoughts on this.

If your going to do the water pump, I would do the thermostat and a drive belt while I'm at it. Belts are pretty cheap. Those are some high prices. I would get 101 things to do to the boxster book and do them yourself.
