Hi all,
long time lurker, first time poster from Oslo Norway
Sold my 2004 BMW 1-Series + a 1975 VW Jeans and bought this 2000 Boxster last thursday, after researching how to by and what to look for -guides on these forums.
So, thanks all !!
It has 157.000 kilometres on the clock, has a complete service history and a full ppt.
Seems in great condition! Seller also showed me receipts for around $24500 for the last 7 years, so many wear-parts have been replaced.
Has a hard top + winter tires.
Wheel and tire spec:
Summer:
Rear, 18" Cup 3 Turbo, 18 X 10,5 rim, 265/35 Goodyear Eagle F1
Front 18" Cup 3 Turbo, 18 X 8 rim, 225/40 Goodyear Eagle F1
Winter:
Rear, 17" Cup 3 Turbo, 17 X 8 rim, 225/45 Michelin X-ice
Front, 17" Cup 3 Turbo, 17 X 7,5 rim, 225/45 Michelin X-ice)
Some questions:
What is the Boxster like to live with at winter time? We get a lot of snow in Norway, as you can imagine.. Any of you drive it during a snowy winter?
Any "must do" upgrades I should consider?
Any "must check" for on the car? Here I am thinking about problems areas such as RWM, IMS etc.
The car shakes/rattles above 120 km/h. What can this be caused by? Wheel alignement? A wheel that needs to be balanced? A drive shaft that is dying?
The AC is not working. Is refilling expensive? A DIY job?
It has an aftermarkt exhaust. How can I find out what type it is? Supposed to give another 10 brake hp, but I havent seen any documentation.
