The warranty on the car is the only length of time or mileage Porsche guarantees that the car will function, beyond that, you're on your own.
Capitalism folks, it's not without risks.

Listen, there's a difference in a manufacturers warranty of the product and expected product life. The MTBF (mean time between failures) of these engine were and are know to the manufacture. The failure numbers are even higher than we know counting the ROW models. You say "
Porsche guarantees that the car will function, beyond that, you're on your own." Known mechanical failures should be disclosed to the consumer and then let the consumer make the choice in purchasing or not. For you to state "
if you bought the car after 2000, these were known issues and buyer beware" is bull****************. You must be some bean counter in your profession. These car should have had a sticker on the window that stated;
"
Purchase of this automobile may require the buyer to replace or rebuild the engine at any time because of a known defect that has not and will not be addressed."
I think I and probably a couple other Boxster owners would have thought twice about purchasing one with this simple warning.
