Have a shop swap in a cheap replacement engine and you can be back on the road for less than $4500. Even less if you can do the swap yourself.

Of course, you can spend more - but you don't have to.

The car's back on the road as of Jun 1 with used engine that has 64K miles. Paid more than I wanted but did all the work myself.

Way to be. Now you know more about Boxsters than most on the forum!

Congratulations!

Glad to hear that you did it yourself. That is a pretty great accomplishment.
