Boxsters with reliable engines

[salerno501]

2002 S with around 49K on it, of which I am responsible for 3K. (Relatively new to me.)

I had to replace the clutch after I purchased it. Otherwise, the car is awesome to drive and own! And this time of year is perfect for the car. I drive top down every where I go!

Thanks for this line of posts. It was getting depressing around here.

You're posting in the wrong thread... stop ruining it.

We see rainbows and hearing children's laughter, all the time.

85,000 on a 1999 2.5l. Bought it about two years ago with 60K on the clock.

It's a daily driver and hopefully will make it well past the 100k mark (otherwise I may need to get a 3.5l engine for it..)

CEL light kept coming on about a year ago but, after cleaning the MAF with some electrical contact cleaner, it's been fine ever since.

2001 S with 62,000 miles. When I bought the car it had 42,000 ad complete records. According to those RMS/IMS leak fixed at 18k (updated new seals,flange,case bolts per tech bulletin in 2005). I've had zero problems in the time that I have owned it other than scheduled maintenance.
