I currently live in Columbia, SC and purchased an '02 Boxster from an after market dealer in Hickory, NC 2 or 3 weeks ago. Within the first week or so the ignition locked up on me and in the process, I may have forced something to break. Since then the ignition works intermittently. Sometimes the key won't insert... won't remove... will turn, but doesn't seem to engage or "click", etc... Then I let it sit in the garage for a few days due to weather and the battery drained (with the trunk closed). I'm reading these are a common issues and I'm experiencing all of them in one week of ownership!!! I'm hoping that the battery dying is a result of the faulty ignition switch and not another costly issue. Otherwise the car is fantastic and awesome to drive. Are these simple problems, or did I buy a lemon?!?!
Does anybody know of any good Porsche mechanics in Columbia , SC?!?!
Forgot to mention.... no owners manual.... no code for radio...
