[gabedrummin]

This is why I do as much work on the car my self .This cars are expensive to keep on the Road. Nothing more expensive than a cheap Porsche. Had a starting issue .Some times car would not start . Didn't matter if car was hot cold tired or ready to go sometimes it wound not crank. Then 30 seconds later it would start . The worst time 45 mins. Tow truck on the way she firs up. Replaced the battery ,ignition switch.The steering lock. Relays . clutch swith. When I finally got fed up took it to Porsche they said short in starter.1800.00 bucks and a hole in my top later.car starts every time.Now she decides to have low oil pressure at idle.These are expensive to maintain.Do as much as you can yourself.

Yeah, I crawled out from under (just finished tiptronic oil change) to make a comment. I got a cheap boxster too. It turned into project car.

I just replaced my old engine--$2500, runs good, came with an extra starter, alternator, and power steering pump. Had to replace coolant hoses right and left.

But, boy howdy, it's an adventure to change a boxster engine!
