My "indy" just replaced my 1998 Boxster's tank 2 weeks ago and he charged me $1,200 (OEM Porsche tank). I'm not a DYI guy so I paid the price. The old tank was yellowed and developed spider cracks on the bottom. The spider cracks would expand once the tank became pressurized and would "weep" coolant which eventually would find there way through the trunk and onto the garage floor. Unfortunately, the tank replacement came on the heels of a water pump replacement ($1,200 OEM Porsche water pump). It was an expensive month but I have to admit that in my 15 years of owning, it's never cost me anything other than the typical tires, brakes and oil changes....so I'm fine.
