Really enjoying my Boxster but...

[blue2000s]

I wouldn't believe anyone who told you that the Boxster's engine will only last XXX miles. Every engine is different and everyone takes care of their engine differently. There are plastic guides in the engine that are meant to wear out with time and there are bearings in the engine that are less than robust, but the guides are replaceable and wear rate on the bearings is completely unpredictable (at least so far). Yours could last 1,000,000 miles, who knows.

FWIW I had a 95' XJR and put 133k miles on it with no issues at all other than wear items like brake pads, etc.. One of the most reliable cars I've ever had.

For the Pcar I'd personally say keep it. Newer with lower miles doesn't necessarily mean more reliable or less likely to break down. Its treated you well so far so I'd hang onto it.
