I get the impression that these engines wear out quickly

The car is now 7 years old with only 38,384 miles on it. It is not my daily driver. Spends most of the time in my garage waiting for nice days during the spring, summer, and fall. Still looks brand new.

2000SoCalBoxsterS,
I noticed that your car description indicated your Boxster has Limited Slip Differential. Did you install an aftermarket differential on your car?? As far as I know all Porsches, except the 997 GT3, do not come with Limited Slip differentials.

LR, sorry for the very delayed response to your question. I only noticed it now.

I looked up the option codes listed on the sticker under my hood. They included option code 224 which I looked up and found it to be "Limited Slip Diff". Could be an error in the decoder I used but I also have the 222 code which is Traction control so maybe they work hand-in-hand. I forgot which decoder I used. 224 was not in my Bentley manual, but I also use the PCA Q&A club function and an online decoder.
