Ask him: if he changes the oil every 3k, will he replace the motor at no cost if there is a failure?
Car sellers will tell you anything and generally know comparatively little about the cars they are trying to sell.
The possibility of a failure is real. But then the possibility is there on any car. Any part. Any time.
The concern is that if a problem occurs, it is expensive to repair/replace relative to the cost of the car now. A $10k expense relative to when the car was new and cost $60k was one thing, but for the same cost against a car that perhaps cost as much as the repair would really hurt the person who could only afford the lower priced models of the Boxster line.
They are all really great cars (owned 2). By all means buy one if you can financially and emotionally accept the risk and understanding there is risk in any car you buy, especially one that could be 20 years old.
You only know about the possible issues because they are such great cars and we care about them so much.
