I have a 1997 Porsche Boxster that was inexpensive to buy. It recently
developed a leak in the coolant recovery tank, leaking into the rear
trunk. The Porsche branded part goes for $358. There are five (5) hoses
running to it that disappear into the engine compartment. The hose
clamps are barely accessible. The tank cannot be removed unless and
until the hoses are disconnected on the engine side of the firewall.
Porsche allows 4 hours for the repair.
Setting your model-year limit at 2015 probably won't help much.

I have a 1997 Porsche Boxster that was inexpensive to buy. It
recently developed a leak in the coolant recovery tank, leaking into
the rear trunk. The Porsche branded part goes for $358. There are
five (5) hoses running to it that disappear into the engine
compartment. The hose clamps are barely accessible. The tank cannot
be removed unless and until the hoses are disconnected on the engine
