Buying a Used Porsche Classified as Risky

[KRAM36]

I've had my 2003 Boxster S for almost 2 years now. Last summer I had to replace the water pump, little over 100k miles at that time. Just threw a CEL couple weeks ago. Shows knock sensor is bad. Had a couple other codes, but I'm thinking the knock sensor might be causing those.

I'm right at 116k miles now, do my own maintenance on the car. Put a magnetic drain plug in it on the previous oil change. Just changed my oil last Friday, no metal stuck to the magnet and the oil filter free of any debris.

Heck I'm getting ready to install a 987 air box plumbed to a 996 76mm Throttle Body and a larger 997 Distribution T to the plenums along with some new 19" wheels and a Boxster Euro Suspension Kit (ROW M030). My starter is making noise so while I'm in there I'm putting a new starter in it because it's embarrassing when you fire up your Porsche and it screeches.

I love this car!
