These older boxsters can become very very expensive to own long term. I bought a 97 that didn't have motor problems (that was the last owner's problem and what probably forced him to sell it after he replaced the motor), but it had transmission problems and a bunch of other small issues.
Even if the car doesn't have a lot of miles on it, it has age on it.
Unless you have a nice flow of cash to keep putting into this car after this repair and you're not going to lose sleep over the fact that it's going to (possibly) cost you 2000 euros a year for the first 3-4 years, you may want to sell it and buy a more reliable sports car.
Sorry to say this to you, but I sure wish someone had said the same to me. I dumped $20,000 USD into my 1997 model in the first 4 years of ownership, and it arrived with a new motor in it! So I had a car worth no more than $13,000 and I had $30,000 in the car. Ugh!
Had I sold the car at auction the second I knew it needed a lot of repairs, I could have gotten out of the car for a thousand dollars less and taken the money and saved up for a much newer example with low miles, warranty left on it, a bigger S model motor, a glass rear window, etc.
