I fully understand the concept of high $$$ for parts and maintenance.
However, why not do it yourself? Grant it – not many of us have the time. But I believe in trying to do the most minimal work (oil change).
My question is: Is the Boxster a difficult vehicle to do prevent. Maintenance?
Is it a hard engine to work on? I’m all for doing my own work – to me, it’s a special way to bond w/ my ride and appreciate it even more. It helps me understand how systems work and what makes them do the things they do.
Ronzi explained in an earlier post how essential maintenance documentation is on these particular cars – especially in the re-sale market.
So, to all of those who tinker on their own 986’s – do you need special factory tools to work on a 986?
Also, since you’re on the subject of mileage – I own a Land Cruiser w/ 221,000 miles. Only thing ever went bad was the alternator at 200k. And believe me, this is not your soccer mom/mall Land Cruiser – it’s been rock climbing, wheeling in 4’ mud/snow, towing, etc…
Gracias!
