Replaced the old Boxster with a Boxster S

The old Box was already down on power due to engine coil and air/fuel mixture issues. That being said, the S feels properly quick now, I never find myself wanting power, which used to be an issue in the old Boxster especially when overtaking.

Mine is Metallic Ocean Blue also, paint code E1 and love it. The blue/tan combo is one of the best in my opinion.
The S is more than quick enough to get me into trouble and drive it every chance I get. Congrats on your new ride!

That looks like the car Nick in Tempe had for sale. My wife and I took it out for an extensive test drive in December 31st. We loved the car, but that unusual rour it has in the back end scared us off. We bought another S that day in Scottsdale.

What did you ultimately pay for the car ?

Bingo, exactly who we bought it from. We payed 13,250 after we found out that the noise was the rear right bearing going bad and bargained hard. Out of curiosity what color was your Boxster and where did you buy it?

Hi Lordblood,
The 2000 S car we bought in Scottsdale is Gaurds Red with tan interior. We bought it from a dealer called Copper State Mororsports for $13,930.

It seems we are interconnected somehow, I owned that car for roughly 21 hours. There are about 4000 dollars worth of repairs/maintenance needed on that car, including the cracked/baked window. We paid 13,250 plus taxes for it, so I guess they made a 700 dollar profit on you. Let me know if you want the PPI for it, I got it from Chapman Porsche in Tucson and I can scan it for you if you wanted to see it.

Hi Lordblood.

The dealer put a new back window in it. His trim shop did a good job. Looks factory. Yes I would like to see the PPI. I'll send you a PM.

I have found a pretty good oil leak since getting it home. More messy than runny. It looks like the new AOS could be leaking and possible Power Steering pump leak and maybe the RMS. Runs real good though. I'm doing the brakes just because I want to start fresh. What else should I know about it right away ?
