All good in the past years, only basic maintenance done by myself using Durametric. Car is driven year round and with winter tires even snow is fun.
Engine has a Softronic flash and different air filters and is as fast as our ‘04
Handling and sound are great, I’d say even better than the 986.
22,000 miles plus and no real problems. Build quality is up,there, only the door cards seem to be a problem on many 981. Warping on the top can happen in hot climates. Ours held up well.
Overall very happy and it looks like we have many more years to go.
Later,
Andy

Hello Andy,
Does your 981 have the PDK or manual transmission?

Just sold my 2013 981 a few months back. I had a chance to buy back my 2003 Boxster I had sold 10 year ago.

Loved the 981, but I wasn't driving it enough to justify keeping it around.

I put a Fabspeed exhaust and short shift kit on the 03 and I am really loving it!
