Why replace it with a 2.5 or even 2.7, when 3.4 996 used motors are plentiful? If I were to spend the money, may as well get some real peformance increase.

I am in Salt Lake Utah. Yes I would get rid of it.

I agree with you. Right now I am scared to death to buy one. I am going to wait to see how the newer 295Hp boxster S's hold up. BUT I will say that really miss mine.
