See below quote... I bought my 1998 back in Feb of 08 with just under 60k, and I have run the gauntlet on consumable repairs. Here is what I have replaced/upgraded on mine:
1998 Boxster, White 5-spd with black top, dark grey int, 74k miles.
Many newly replaced items include:
- Transmission + clutch kit w/ 1yr warranty
- Both rear wheel bearings
- All new brakes
- Water Pump
- Coolant Tank
- Serpentine Belt
- Air/Oil Separator
- Both seat belt recepticals
- Pilot Sports less than 1 yr old
- Top less than 3 yrs old
I have ALL the original paperwork including radio code and window sticker, plus records of all work I have had done. If you are considering a late model boxster, even one with relatively low miles, it pays to have one where the most common maintenance items have already been replaced.
Total cost of these repairs: $11,000!
Now, it runs great, but I am in need of a more practical daily driver and am puting it up for sale.
Carfax and Title are clean and I have the pink slip. PM me if interested...
