You are correct, it is a 996. You can tell from the steering wheel etc that it is not from the new 987 or 997. Point being the numbers are no longer white in the new models and are harder to see...

That red sample is from the 986 model and with the thick white numbers the contrast works. The new ones (as you can see from the yellow example) don't have thick white letters so it is much more...

You could probably find it on the Porsche website. Have you looked at the red gauges in person. I would advise against it, they are very difficult to read.

I just 'hibernated' my Boxster today as well. I change the oil prior to hibernation. Also, make sure the emergency brake is not engaged. Other than that you seem to have it covered.

fatmike, thanks for the input. I have the Boxster as a third car today but I really want to move towards two cars. Since I have two small children I would like a car with a backseat that can be...

Mod Envy

So I will likely buy a new car late next year or early 2009. One of my considerations is the new M3. In the process of looking at the M3 I went to the dealer to check out the 335i sedan. Pretty...

I am a big fan of the 997 911, so I say go for it. I will definitely have one in my garage at some point, but not a cab, a coupe.

Get the Sports Steering Wheel!!! I don't have it and seriously regret it. It has very little cost but is thicker. The standard wheel is very thin.

I think there is also an option to make it...

Store it and don't start it.

The process to get it ready 'seems' bad, but it is really very easy once you have done it.

Also, if you feel lazy many Porsche dealers offer a 'hibernation'...

Interior lighting

I'm not sure if its just me but doesn anyone else find the interior lighting of the Boxster to be less than adequate?

Now that it's getting much darker, if I drive the Box at night the cabin is...

Your ability to negotiate is largely based on region and your local competition. In Minneapolis most people end up paying pretty close to MSRP (two dealers, same owner). You have seasonality in...

I prefer the Champion Wheels, more 'lip' in the rear. I would buy them if I could afford them. They look sweet with the centers black too.

Sweet! :D You will love it. Does it have any orange accents in the interior? You'll have to post some pics.

As a new Boxster owner I would review some of the old posts in this forum or do...

C63 does 3.9sec to 60mph

Just read Car&Driver comparing the M3, C63, and the Audi RS4. As expected the M3 is the best all around performer but the Mercedes knocked of a 3.9 sec run to 60mph :eek: . That's impressive for a...

10% Discount sounds good, they won't discount at all around here.

I have the Bose and haven't been in one without it so I can't really compare, but from what I heard the non-Bose system is pretty...

Annual service? The normal service interval isn't until 20K miles. I get my oil changed once a year but that is it. Seems excessive to me.

Seems to be a theme that more experienced drivers don't need PSM and novice drivers do.

I couldn't disagree more. Let's keep in mind PSM can be turned off. So if you are an experienced...

The Cayman is the same size as the Boxster and in 2007 they also come with the same engine, 3.4L 295HP. However, the Cayman has a more rigid body since it has a fixed top so it is technically a...
