Here's a really stupid question...

[Lil bastard]

As much as I'd like to think I know about my Boxster, there's one question I've always neglected to ask...

When I picked up my Boxster new at the dealer (3 mi. on the ODO) 10 yrs. ago, it didn't have a passenger-side lock tumbler in the door - never drilled for one.

I've always assumed this was normal (i Know..assume and you make an a**...).

But through all the posts here, I've never seen this mentioned...even by a 'newbie', which I'm finally getting around to think is somewhat strange.

So, my ? is: "are all of your Boxsters the same way?" or do I have some unique 'Friday' one-off?

...hum mine has no passenger side key hole -- I think Tool Pants (Jeff) mentioned this a long time ago on another forum...

By the way -- where is Du Monde ??
...just curious...

Take care,
Ed

and good night...my last post for today...

Likely a costs savings and frankly a lack of necessity. Other cars also only have one lock cylinder on them, my newer GTO only has it in the driver's door.

My Boxster only has one on the drivers side (LH). My Acura has both Driver and Passenger, but they make both a LH and RH version of the Acura.

Most of cars I rent only have the Drivers side door key... it is a cost saving, one less tumbler to install.

Weight saving.

Mine's the same way, I don't think I've ever seen another Boxster with a passenger side lock. Most newer cars tend to be the same way. If you use the remote to lock/unlock like almost all new cars, you don't really need a key hole at all, it's just there in the event that the remote dies or something.

None on mine ('01 S). (As many times as I have detailed that car, I still had to go out and look---I honestly couldn't have told you for sure one way or the other.)
