Newbie soon to be Boxster owner.Questions...
 

Im very excited after my decission to buy a Boxter.
Will be a 2003 , and be my first Porsche ever.
For me is a big investment , Im in Costa Rica and will be paying about $42,000 for a 2003 with 20,000 miles.

How reliable is this car?

Anything special to look for?

All advice is welcomed and appreciated.

There's mixed reviews about reliability. I believe it depends on its condition and more importantly, the way the previous owner(s) took care of it.

Thanks.
Im reading all posts now.

So now a days there seems to be the cars are nost as reliable?
I have an ML 320 Mercedes 1998, and was lucky I didnt go to the forums before I bought it, because I wouldnt have bought it, lots of complains and everyone say its a terrible unreliable car.
I have had mine for 24,000 (its 66,000 miles now)and its great.

Then I was ready to buy a Mercedes C32 AMG, went to the forums and read so many complains and people told me to check soo many things that it put me off and I didnt bought it.
Now Im looking into a Boxter, seems to be the rule that if its low milage should be good, honestly I see a lot less people complaining here than at the Mercedes forums, so it shouldnt be as bad.

The look on others faces as they know you drive one of the best daily drivers ever made!
