Right - my apologies - I was thinking the original 48 mos based on the factory warranty. CPO qualification is indeed up to 6 years old (up to 100K miles total.)

Brad -

That sounds like a good experience for a novice driver. Which one feels more severe/uncatchable on a mid-engined car like a Boxster? A missing link at the front or one at the rear?

Coolant combustion

Does coolant combustion always mean you'll need a "new engine?" I have had a gradually increasing coolant loss for a while now. I had it looked at twice with no diagnosis. Then 2 months ago, at a...

Good point.

Thankfully, I haven't had to buy anything yet. Possibly, a new coolant expansion tank. I just wanted to know - as the specialist quoted it at more than 2X's the price of Suncoast.

As suspected -

Turned out to be a tiny clip that only costs $43. We have 2. One for each direction in the gearbox (R,1,3,5 & 2,4,6.) One hour of labor, so not bad at all.
