Hi there, I am new to this forum and want to buy a used Boxster.
I am located at LA. Just found a 2001 green Boxster for sale by a dealer. This car has only 23K miles on the clock and has clean carfax. The dealer is asking for 12K cash.
I just checked the car. The paint is in very good condition. The interior is also clean.
I did not test drive yet since I found several problems and what to see the if the dealer can fix that.
The major problem is that the window of passenger's door will not automatically lower down a little when the roof is on. So the window will hit the rim of the roof and the door cannot close properly.
Another thing I noticed is that after the engine has been idled for around 1 min. I turned off the engine and I heard a continuous clicking sound from the rear of the car. The sound was like you are bending a thick metal plate. I have the same problem on my BMW and I haven't had the dealer checked this problem yet. I don't know if this is a serious problem or not.
Another thing I noticed that on there is no lining on the doorsteps. I am not sure if they just don't come with them or they were removed.
The dealer said they will try to fix the door problem and will let me know.
I plan to take the car to a professional inspection if they can fix the door problem. The auto center asked 250 dollars (2 hours labor) for the inspection.
I am new to Boxster and this will be my first manual car if I buy it.
Just want to know what you think about this car.
Cheers.
