That's a really great price and amazing how low miles it has. Are you planning to fix the engine or replace it? If your going to replace the engine have you considered upgrading to a 3.4 or would you just replace with the stock engine?

Keep us posted on the build, here is a link to dozens of free Boxster DIY and how to technical articles

Thanks! I have already been on your sight 100x reading up on the IMS issue and replacement thread (before I flew to florida to see the car in person I was told it was an bad IMS bearing)....it does not sound like that to me, but what do I know?

If an engine replacement is required I will probably have to source a stock 3.2 to swap in as these engines are FAR from inexpensive.

I don't want to "cheap" out on the project/build...but I am trying to keep this on a reasonable budget.
