Bouncing this thread up again as I am looking now at a 2002 S with similar miles to the previous one, asking price $9800, IMS bearing has been changed recently. Couple of minor collisions that needed repair at the extremities. Having a PPI done locally to the seller tomorrow.

Looking at the car fax report, back in 2005 there is a note that the gearbox was removed and reinstalled.
Any idea why this might have been done? (Since then the car was kept by one owner for 8 years, and then the seller for another 2)

Thanks,
Jeremy

PS. Both this one and the previous one I had looked at had been brought as graduation gifts for daughters.
First time that someone told me a Boxster is a girl's car I laughed it off, but now I have 2 data points proving it.
Can anyone explain to me how a car like a manual Boxster S becomes a car for rich young graduates? (I'm new to America...)
