Tom,
Great article on the 996 engine failures. I bought my '99 four years ago with 12k miles. The coolant loss problems started about 24k miles. My 996 was one of the first 600 or so off the line so it has all of the risk issues. In my research I made the mistake of assuming it was a "tarted up" Boxster engine and that most of the reliability issues inherent with the original Boxsters had been fixed when the engine was adapted to the 996. I guess I was wrong :-((((
I am currently selling my '83 to fund a late model Boxster so I am not giving up, just moving to a new forum
