I have had two 1999 Porsche boxters over the last year. First one was white. Second, current car is black. Well I bought both cars after having had PPIs from Porsche specialists. Second car has new tires, engine mount, top, etc., etc. Well second car, second day after car was delivered sometimes on start up smoke / white color would come out of exhaust. AOS? Third day damn check engine light came on. Put new gas cap on, no difference. Went to Auto Zone. They plugged OBDII scanner. Got following codes: PO410 and P1411. Secondary air injection system. I am in Ca. Can't have these issues. I contact Dealer / shop and talked to owner. Convinced him for me to return car. He said yes. Whew. I really wanted to have a boxter that would at least be somewhat reliable but this is ridiculous. Sad. Yes, the boxter has incredible handling, very good steering feel and good brakes. Very solid chassis. But to me, now in my life unfortunately the "headache" is not worth it. Crazy experience, especially since I did everything "by the book"
