Still Looking

Still looking for my first Boxster. Hopefully with Spring approaching more Boxsters will hit the market. I have a question about mileage. How many miles are too many miles when looking for a used Boxster 03-04. What should I make sure has been replaced when looking for a used Boxster this age?

Thanks,

Husker Pete

1997-2004 can have IMS removed with out having to remove and split the motor case. therefore labor cost is a lot less.

You can buy a nice 2004 and have IMS, RMS and a new clutch done at an Indy, shop for less then $3,000 or Buy a 2009 or newer Boxster and not have to worry about the IMS, 2009 and up no longer have an IMS.

I would not touch a 2005-2008 W/ a ten foot pole, unless it has a warranty. Good luck Dude.
