2000 S, Third owner
Bought it a year ago with 98,500 on it. Just hit the magic 100,000 mark and runs like a "Bat of of 'ell"
New clutch, RMS, AOS, MAS, CV boots, front motor mount, and windshield since buying it. Not unreasonable considering the miles on the car. ALL cars wear out at some point. The mechanic$ at the $hop I support, report all is well and the only impending issue may be O2 sensors, sometime in the future. (They don't last forever) Eager to find someplace safe where I can find out what the top speed is!
Only had it up to 130 so far.

Glad to hear that the 3.2 is the most reliable as to D-chunk faillures. Don't want to find out the hard way how many miles before I need to contact Raby.
Not sure how long I will keep the Boxster, but as long as I am having fun and can still afford to support the local $hop, who knows?
Interesting sociological phenomenon owning a Porsche for the first time. Everyone treats you differently when you own one, even friends and family,
and EVERYONE wants to go for a ride! Previously drove Volvo 1800ES Sport Wagon.
(Chuckle moment) Woman in my office remarks when she finds out I have a sailboat (only a small one), "Oh, you have a sailboat AND a Porsche."
