And there is the decision. In theory with the older Boxster it is possible to preemptively replace many parts that have not failed in order to be less inconvenienced or prevent major damage. Typical replacements are:
ims bearing
rms seal
water pump
coolant tank
aos
etc.
But then that is the price of owning an older car. Buy new and pay the big $$$ or buy off warranty fix/replace or preemptively replace. I could probably spend $8k at my indy shop no problem getting it up to a more desirable mechanical status.
I think back to my old 1958 VW bug. Air cooled, no smog treatment, gutless but totally reliable. Those days back in the 60's the cars were a lot simpler. G.
