Keep it
Don't throw money at the old car with engine transplant

Enjoy the car as it is. It's a lot of money to upgrade abd differences are minor imho.
Thrown money at the old car is gone forever.

Keep the money and enjoy your car.

Consider being another second, different car. My experience is that however good the car, after a while you get bored with it sometimes. Even with the Boxster. Then drive your other fun car for a while, leave the boxster until you get bored with the other car. THEN step into the BoxsterS again and you will wonder what the hell you were thinking back then.

Works for me...and in the end saves a lot of money...friends of mine trade new m3's, corvettes, porsches every 1 to 2 years and throw away much more money then I do...

You already answered your question.
If you still love driving your car, just enjoy it. Newer is not better. You know what you got. Any car you purchase may have mechanical problems that you won't find out about until you drive the car.

Personally, I like the looks of the 986 better than the 987. I'm sure my 987 friends have a different opinion.

Unless your independently wealthy, save the money. These are challenging financial times and you just might need the money for something else.
