New owner with a few questions
Finally found the Boxster for me.
1) I notice the gauge display and the radio stays on for a bit after the car is turned off. Is this normal? 2) I had trouble getting the key to turn in the ignition once. Is this a sign it needs replacing. 3) The wind break between the seats is missing. Is it worth replacing, do they work? I'm sure I'll more. 2001 Boxster S http://lgriffin.net/images/boxster1.jpg |
Welcome to the forum.
Great looking car. My radio does the same thing. Your ignition issue sounds common but is a cheap fix. My car came without the rear wind deflector too. I just tell myself that I have the top down to FEEL the air not block it. :cheers: |

Beautiful color combination. Congrats! She'll look even better when de-ambered.
I agree with luckyed. The wind deflector is nice, but like many Porsche parts, sorely overpriced. Keep checking this forum for a used one. |

I do have an extra wind deflector though feel free to make me an offer.

Only thing to add is relatd to the key, be aware of the position of the wheel and the wheel lock. If the column is locked it can be difficult to get it unlocked and that can be seem like the key is hard to turn. In summary, keep the wheels straight ahead and don't lock the steering...unless you have a specific need. If you do this and the key is hard to turn, there is a mechanical and electric component that may be the issue. The failure of the electrical component is common and (debatibly) easy to replace. Just don't take it to a dealer as they will change both and charge $$$$...search, lots of info...

Jake - doesn't this one have the non-S bumper as well? OP - that third radiator might be blocked...in that GA heat, be interesting to see how well the engine temp manages. Sorry to be the bearer of this news if you were no already aware.

I wasn't aware of the salvage title, didn't look close enough, or the wrong bumper cover. I didn't pay full price and still think I got a decent deal. The car runs great, tracks straight and doesn't run hot. However, I'm considering cutting a center vent and covering it with some screening.
