Your story is much like mine. I did not know about the issues, flew to Denver with about 4 to look at, I looked at the first one at an auto Pawn shop, new replacement Porsche engine in 2010 at 37k miles, bought it with 58k miles. didn't even consider looking at the other option cars. I have never looked back and have enjoyed every mile. Now at 96k miles

The RX8's sounded like weed wackers and had no power unless red lined. I drove a few Boxsters they had at the local Porsche dealership. I really liked them, but from the dealer with no warranty was too pricey. After a few months I found the car I have now. CL private seller. He drove the car to my work so I could test drive it. To be honest when he was pulling up I was thinking I'm buying this car. So I took it for a drive and the rest is history.
I'd say it was between the Boxster and the nice 350Z in the end. The 350Z had a bit more power, but the Boxster fit me like a glove. Plus it's a convertible and it's a frickin Porsche.
I didn't get a PPI done or know about the IMS issue when I bought it. Thank god for this forum to help me through most of the problems I've encountered. Although this forum has also cost me more money in parts and cool stuff I never knew I needed  |
