2000 boxster s questions?

[rick3000]

Mikes_box, all I know about IMS is that only a few later '00 where affected. I don't really know the specifics. Most '00 cars were probably built in '99 or early '00 because they would have been building the '01 later on. So you probably don't have to worry.

MikeM, you probably don't have to worry. It was only cars built in late '00+.

Thanks...as always.

I have an 00 S and am very happy with it. I bought it in Oct 2007 with 24K miles on it. Now have 31K on it ~8 months later. There have been a few issues that needed attention at a cost of about $2K including:

Four tires + alignment
30K mile service (spark plugs, oil change, all filters replaced, brake fluid flush)
Front motor mount
Both innner CV Joint Boots

I have a 2000 2.7l and a friend had a 2000 S (just sold it to another friend of ours) and both cars are great. Nothing to be scared of. Do the PPI and get the warranty record from the dealer (to see what work was done on the car) and you should be fine, especially at such low mileage.

I have a 2000 S I bought in May, 2007 with 16K miles on it. It now has 30K on it. I just got back from a 3200 mile road trip in it. No problems at all. I *love* this car.

With such low miles, I would also have the mechanic make sure to check all the seals and hoses. They tend to go bad if the car sits around a lot. I had a vacuum leak (from fluid crystalizing) the first week because the car hadn't been driven in so long when I bought it.

I bought my 2000S with 21,300 miles on it. 10,000 miles later, no problems. 30K service and rear tires coming up this Fall.

Go for it!

Regards,

Mr. Mike
