Without pics, we can only speculate...

There are LOTS of expensive parts in the back of a Boxster. And it doesn't matter where you have the estimate done, they're going to be basing their cost on the price of new parts. You're going to be caught in a conundrum - you can find used parts that will keep repair costs down, but some shops may not want to use them.

You might start entertaining the fact that you may have to write off your Boxster. Do you really want your dad driving a car that needed $7500 worth of repairs?
