porsche grenade

1997, base boxster. grenades engine at, 144,000 kilometers. Porsche said too bad, Porsche in Calgary alta, installed a used wrecker , sup, low mileage engine, for many thousand,s. so cost of engine and instal, I purchased car for 10500$ and now have 190,000 kilometers on it. with some maint . brakes , aos , starter etc. sad that if the engine blows on my watch, I will scrap the car. 10,000$ boxsters are easy to come by. would I buy another , yes. two trunks, great driving experience, and performance for a light car. all that trumps, the Miata , solstice, Honda , etc.
