See my post a couple threads up on "How Reliable are Porsches", it will give you more specific info on the areas of concern regarding the engine of all the water-cooled Boxster/Caymen/Carerras through 2008-ish.

i think he just wants a car, not a weekend track toy that he's willing to spend an exorbitant amount of money on just to play with

but you still have an inferior gear box (1st and 2nd is taller in the cayman so it won't lose to a 911 in a 0-60 race stock for stock) and you'd have to get the new engine mounts and all of that etc etc

You are correct. I am just looking to drive this thing stock. I'm not a big fan of modding cars. The only mods I would possibly do are hid's low beams and/or fogs.. maybe even a sub (if those are even considered mods hahha).

lfeharri - my view is if it you're buying a small 2 seat car it might as well be a convertible! i own a miata (yeah, a poor man's boxster, lol) - i test drove a base boxster before getting the miata and was unimpressed, especially for the money, but as always, porsche keeps improving things, and the S is obviously quicker, handles better. the caymen is basically a 'hard core' fixed roof boxster, great if THE most important thing is max. performance/handling, but i wouldn't pay more to get a car without the convertible roof.
for grins you should test drive a loaded miata - you can get the power roof too. it's an impressive car and an amazing value. i didn't get the power roof because the manual roof is the easiest roof there is to raise/lower (5 seconds down or up), and this is the most fun car i've ever owned.
