For people dealing with engine failure for the first time this is a really useful reality check Post. Thank you OP.
If you have to pay for all the engine work and the while-you-have-it-apart work ,the total cost far exceeds $12,000. No mention of the cost of a replacement car in the interim !Plus upgrades to prevent some of the potential future failures ?
Important(unfortunately) to compare that $12K cost to the real world value of a Boxster. No, not the dreamy asking prices, the actual selling price. Get a trade in price from CarMax before you decide on a rebuild?
I did a diy rebuild with lots of upgrades but it certainly was not a smart financial decision.
