i think you misread the intent of my thread.

I am actually hoping that I find a boxster that DOES NOT blow up. I want to find a nice clean car and drive it - and enjoy it - stock.

I was just wondering - since i have read of failures - if there was some year/model that would prevent someone from upgrading to a better motor - if when it failed. just so I wouldn't have a choice between say a 2000 and 2001 that I liked equally - only to later find out that the 2000 can't get upgrded but 2001 models were great for swapping in a larger engine..

what I have found out is that it doesn't really matter.

so I can shop for any 986 and know that IF I buy one - and IF I was unfortuante enough to have an engine problem and I had to replace it - I could buy a bigger/faster engine if I wanted to.

i honestly would love nothig more than to spend a modest sum, get a nice clean base 986 and just enjoy it. I'd be happy with that..don't even need an S.

the sound of that engine is musical.
