If this happen to me I would sell it fast as I can after the repairs are done because.
1. Once you get the car back it will be stored for the winter and you'll never really know if it runs better/worse until you take it out of storage.
2. Your wife feelings- Having that awful feeling if you are going to break down doesn't make it any fun driving the boxster.
Sell... sell... sell.....just my 2 cents.
Good luck on whatever you decide on
