'98 Boxster

I have a '98 Boxster. No major problems, my understanding is that the '97-99 model years had the dual row bearing. Rate of failure was much lower than the single row bearing. I've had no major issues. O2 sensor went....Spark plug cracked and gave misfire code, ignition cylinder went...but hey, it's 20 years old?

I would have no qualms driving it back if I were you...I do however, second getting a local Porsche dealer to do a PPI prior to shelling out the cash and hitting the road. It'll cost you a little, but could save you a lot.

Mike
