Mike,
thanks for your response. I feel a little better with those stats and that the car is well maintained. my indy did say first off he would do the oil analysis and a thorough inspection. I plan to follow his suggestions to the letter. he also said the same thing you and others have said, and that's some years were worse than others. he said most failures he saw occurred by 60,000 miles. I'm out of that window for my car.

originally, I never really liked the boxster and was holding out for a 911sc. it didn't happen and this car just appeared softly calling to me....I had to have it. it damn sure handles better than a 911...I don't miss the dreaded over steer of the 911's, which of course once you learned the car it pretty much became a non-issue....

thanks again to all...
