Hi,

I bought a metallic blue 2003 Boxster 986 in the fall, and have had it stored in the garage since then. I wanted to spare it from all the bad weather and salt on the road. I'm now preparing it for the next season, and gathering all the information I can.

I have to say that this forum is so informative and valuable. Thank you all for sharing your knowledge, experience and wisdom. There are lots of great threads I am lurking, and I have yet to get to most of them. Hopefully, I can contribute something in the near future.

If any of you happen to be in this part of the world, near the Rhine and the Black Forest, please give me a shout.

Cheers!
Marco

Welcome Marco. I can only imagine what kind of roads await you in the area you live.

Welcome Marco ! I agree, this site is invaluable to a new owner. I spent countless hours browsing through everything before I made my purchase, and still do, posting very seldom as I really have little constructive to offer. One day, I hope to be able to contribute something back.

Oil leaks are not standard in any boxster. Means there's something that's wrong. If you're serious about the car, get a pre purchase inspection done. You'll be glad you did.
