Check your VIN. 11th digit shows where it was made. S for Stuttgart or U for Uusikaupunki. My 97 spec boxster is German made, but my 2004 V8 swapped car is Finnish. Haven't noticed any difference in build quality between the two.

After the initial few in '96 were built (as '97s), Stuttgart built just enough to retain the knowledge to build the cars if they had to was the story I always heard. Never heard of any quality differences.
