I think it may have been the same crankshaft on my car that broke - this was at about the 40,000 mile mark. Luckily, at that time I was covered by extended warranty. This also happened to be about 2 months into ownership for me - purchased used - 2001 Boxster.

The bill was about $13,000 for me so $19,000 probably isn't so out there.

I fear it happening again of course but hopefully luck will be in my favor the rest of the way.

Best of luck.
