I don't know anything as fact, but i believe the top gets left down for long periods in order for people to put the hardtop on the car. I assume that means it does no harm. Even so, I generally put...

Haven't done the math in a while but it used to consistently be in the high teens. If it ever hit 20mpg I was pretty happy about it. My commute is short and generally not over 50mph aside from a 1...

I recently did the 30k service on a 2000 2.7L Boxster for about $700 at the local dealership. That also included a little labor to replace an oil filler tube that was leaking a little. I've found...

I did the PnP kit for $225. Had it installed at a shop while other work was being done, but I estimate installation of the rear kit alone would be a little over $100. Doesn't seem like too much for...

Like you said, it comes down to horsepower vs. feel. If it were me, I'd drive both and go with the one that was more fun. I would think 5 years down the road and consider which car will hold up...

About $950/year on a 2000 2.7 as a daily driver in CA through Mercury. I think it's a $500 deductible with a high level of liability and I have a spotless record. I see that you're in LA - the...

I bought my 2000 in 2004 and it had the Graphite Gray top (I think it's the darker of the 2 shades). The car only had 20k miles on it so it didn't see a lot of use. The top was definitely a bit...

If that's a hard decision to make, then don't get the Porsche. Too much $ unless it's something that you just can't resist. You can get a bike that's way too fast for anyone plus a good car for...

DDB,
Sounds like you've got a good thing arranged. It was going to be about $400 for parts and labor (ballpark estimate) to wire up my 2000 Boxster. I suspect Mr. Lee is correct and the pre-2003...
