Boxster Price Check

I am wondering what the current approximate market price for a 1998 Boxster base M/T would be with motor issues (unknown at the moment, just assume it's toast). And the usual wear and tear from a 16...

I switched from Blue a long time ago. Lately I have been using Motul RBF (600/660). The downside is that it makes ATE look dirt cheap.

Also ATE gold200 is the same stuff if you liked the...

I replaced mine at 100K along with the clutch. It probably wasn't quite dead but I didn't want to have to pull it all apart again so it was easier to do it while I was in there.

Congrats!

Don't let the milage weenies get you down. Drive it! Those with twice the miles have half the problems. :D

jaykay - I'm pretty sure the OEM pump had a bit of drag but was smooth and tight. It did not spin much at all after you let go. As long as you don't hear any scraping or irregular sounds you should...

The LASO I put in failed within 30K miles. It blew apart. I replaced it with a factory part. There were clear differences in machining quality. I also used the Airlift tool and after filling have...

I have a bit of work ahead of me before I attempt starting it. I did order one of the "toilet seat" pop-off valves that I might install just in case, but proper use of lever is something that I will...

I'm an airhead!

Well sorta, but that's always up for debate. Last night I pushed home a new project. A 1974 911 Targa. Needs a bit of work but I think it will be a good addition to the stable. Now I have one...

Mine just failed catastrophically. When I left the garage no noise, no drips on the floor, no smell. The pump had been replaced 1.5 years ago and the coolant level had not moved more than an ounce...

I hit the wrong gear in a downshift in the Boxster once. Im blanking on the exact RPM, but the ECU shows a few revs in Stage 5 (out of 6). I think it was close to 9,000 RPM.

That was in 2009...

I have been itching to test drive a BRZ just out of curiosity. The same comparison has been going on for years. Back to the 944/RX7 days. The Porsche has always lost the "value" category. However...

It really depends on the company and vehicle. My friend had 10-12K of work done on his 944 that got hit. It might have only been worth 3-4K at the time.

It is a Porsche after all. You can...
