If you're really that worried about it, get an 'engine go boom' insurance policy. I purchased 2 cars through the CPO program from Porsche and was very happy. They'll sell you an extended warranty along with the car. That way you can drive it without worry.

I had a standard 2002 Boxster. Loved that car. Enough power to feel spirited, great chassis, top down in the summer....loved it. If you can swing it, I would go with a 987. Its step up from the 986 in performance and looks. The convertible top is much better (quieter and warmer in the cold).

btw, I don't have an engine warranty on my 997. I have the impression that the internet tends to highlight the cases when there is a failure, leaving the vast majority who have not had issues in the shadows. No one goes on the internet, and posts, "Another day, and my car is running great!" But when the schiat hits the fan......
