You know, it wasn't an irrelevant question. $12.5 for a high mileage '01 is one thing. For a low mileage one, something totally different. Many of us here have older and/or high mileage Boxsters we...

There's two vids in that thread—or at least there's supposed to be. The 2nd one seems to be no longer available. I do some of my own stuff on my car, but I'm certainly no seasoned mechanic, but I...

Yeah, it's tough. 987s are roomy, comfortable, refined...almost to a fault.
The 986 has that raw, more rough-edged unsophisticated visceral feel to it. And...it's the one I still drive :cheers:

I don't know that he said exactly that, but expressed "an over 50 year love of the car the Boxster harks back to." Specifically the Porsche 550 Spyder, which came about well over 50 years ago..

So true.

I learned this the hard way. I had had my Box a couple years when the alternator went bad on me. Other than oil changes, this was my first DIY on the car. Figured out how to get to the...

Battery Replacement Question

I’ve got an old Diehard in the Box, and, unbelievably, that sucker’s been in there since 2014. I’ve got a friend who, for a fee, allows me to winter-store the car in her garage (she heads to Florida...

You can answer some of your questions easily—you just need to go out and look at some (while, of course, sitting in them as well). Used Boxster aren't all that hard to find.

How does one not like a convertible? What's not to like—you've got the best of both worlds. Unless you're tracking and want that extra rigidity, I can't imagine not embracing...

Agree with Blue. (And Jay!)

And your timing is probably good: Mine is also an '01 S. I checked my records—my pump crapped out on me at 58,400 miles. It's better to replace it before that...

Who made the axles you put in? The Porsche ones are ridiculously pricey, and I've heard some of the others are pretty hit or miss as far as quality.

That could well be true. I've only personally done this once.
