Ive done quite some research on Boxster Engine Failures by surfing/browsing thru several Boxster Sites(ppbb, pca, babblers, 986forum,etc...etc) before i jumped on purchasing my 01 Box. First of all let me stress that the infamous RMS Leak is ANOTHER issue besides the Engine Failures(Seized engine, etc)...Several Box. veterans from the above sites(pca, ppbb...etc...etc) have noticed quite a Higher TREND of Boxster Engine Failures occuring amongst low mileage engines(quite often/NOT always, Engine Failures are common between 10k-40k)-its quite rare/NOT always Engine Failures happen with Higher Mileage Boxsters(>55k) regardless of Year/Engine Size.... Ived personally met several people whose engine failed between 10k-40k....Again, Do your research by surfing/asking/searching thru SEVERAL Box Sites and youll notice this Trend....Also, I cannot stress the importance of Pre Purchase Inspection...Good Luck
