If Your Boxster Engine Died (out of warranty)

[johnsimion]

I would put in a used engine and SELL it.

There is no acceptable reason why my engine should ever blow up. I don't track the car, I drive it respectfully, don't overrev, and I maintain it very carefully. If my engine were to blow under these conditions, I have no further use for the car and it's just a matter of salvaging what I can out of it.

I think it is pathetic that we continue to have discussions like these on the various Boxster/Cayman forums. The troubles of other people suck a a lot of my enjoyment right out of the car. The fact that I have personally had no trouble out of it continues to give me hope that I won't be one of those "stuck" with major engine problems. If not, I would sell it tomorrow.
