Boxster engines do fail sometimes, not the norm, but it does happen. I think 20% off on the $2800 labor charge is a good deal and you get a new engine. Hard to beat that. We should all have such luck that a Porsche rep is there and out of the goodness of his heart, agrees to a replacement. Face it, you could have driven away from there, driven it a few days or weeks and have the engine fail. Then you probably would have to eat the whole $9000 or so to fix it. Consider yourself lucky I think. I mean yeah, no one wants to shell out the bucks, but unless you can prove someone did something to screw up the engine when it was worked on (not too likely the dealer will admit to any fault), I'd take the offer and run with it. Your engine was already out of warranty, you were just damned lucky to get any kind of consideration from the dealer and the rep IMO.
