  1. I will let you know if that happens. Thanks for the response.
  2. Engine issues are known for both Boxster's and 911 water cooled engines. They are the same basic engine and share similar issues. How often do engine failures occur, I don't know if anyone has that data. I would say the odds are certainly against it -- but depending on the failure mode there are ways to potentially mitigate it. (the IMS retrofit is one such preventive measure) BTW, if they take the car back and give you a refund -- let me know -- I will be interested in contacting them to buy the car. I am looking for a 911 with an engine issue to buy -- I rebuild the engines as a hobby and need a test vehicle. thanks, Mike
  3. I currently have a 2000 996 with 59,000 miles. Owned for 28 days and engine blew. Dealer is deciding if car will be repaired or if $ will be refunded. If refunded, I am wary of buying another (though I love the car). Any insight on reliability of these engines?
