Pre-Purchase Questions

[ymkmkrz]

You aren't really asking the correct questions but here goes
1- leather is nicer but vinyl intwrior wear better. Seat bolsters are going to show wear at 100k unless the po sits down carefully each time entering the car.

2-i would have to say most boxsters are manual. Autos dont sell as well, perhpas the reason you are seeing more tiptronics

3-definitely the S has a lot more power but the regular 986 is Lighter, and can be more fun in the same way as a miata. You can push the car harder without breaking as many laws maybe. Ha

4-sounds like normal top operation unless it is really hard to pull down. They all must be pulled down to fasten the latch

Questions you should be asking

Has the IMSB been upgraded?
Does it leak oil?
How does the clutch pedal feel? If it is stiff its worn out. Boxsters have very easy to operate clutch pedals.

How does the water overflow tank look? Any signs of Overheating around the tank or underneath?

When was the water pump changed last? Has it had AOS work? What sort of records does the owner have? And most important,
Hoe does the PPI look? Dont buy one without spending the 300-400 bucks

The 03 and 04 have glass rear windows, but many say the earlier models are more reliable. Ive had a 97 and an 01. Both have been great.

The search is half the fun. Good luck
