I bought a 1997 boxster in April 2002. After a mere 4 months I have experienced an engine failure. The car is in very good condition and has done only 55,000 miles with a full porsche service history. I have now been quoted £9,500 UK Pounds (approx. $14,000 USD) to replace the engine.

Porsche UK and Germany have failed to deliver upon a request for support in the costs considering I could have achieved a much higher trouble free mileage with almost any other low cost car brand.

Porsche have now lost a lifelong customer as I was considering giving this car to my wife and buying a new shape boxster S in 2003.

BUYER BEWARE!
