Hi Shaun, congrats on your purchase of your Boxster S and a great writeup. It sounds like you have put it through the wringer and was successful. I used to own a 2001 Boxster base and still miss it. After four years of almost problem free ownership it had engine problems and it needed $5000 cdn to fix it. I sold it as is . I bought a 2013 Mazda Miata but it never compared as well in performance to the Boxster but having said that the Miata was 100% reliable.
Cheers, Guy.
