I have a 1998 Boxster with 105,000 miles on it. I changed the oil every 5000 miles. I do not trust the manufacturers recommended 15,000 mile oil change. I had a catastophic engine failure. It sucked one of the intake valves on the number 2 cylinder. I was quite pleased it was not the IMS. I live in nortern California and the dealer is Niello Porsche in Rocklin, Ca. They are awesome.

I cannot wait to get it back. I believe there is an obvious problem with the intermediate shaft and a recall should have been done a long time ago, but this is old news.

How is it possible to have a car for 10 years and only have 30,000 to 40,000 miles on it? I put 10,000 miles on it in 4 months. I could not get out of it. I found every excuse to drive it. I love that car. I WILL ALWAYS OWN A PORSCHE. There is no other car like it. (IMHO)

This is the first time for me to post. So I have stated good and bad. I like to read everyone else's posts. Keep it up.
