Hey all,
Interesting discussion topic for all current and future hopeful Boxster owners...
I was wondering how many miles people have seen on a Boxster that is still running. I know Randall has one with over 100k, but of the 42 1998s that I saw for sale on vehix, none had more than 90k... what happens when they get over 100,000 miles? Do they keep running, or become so expensive to maintain that they get parted out?
I ask because I am a fairly new owner and am trying to decide if I can afford to keep my car. Like Randall, I bought mine (a 1998 that currently has 72k miles) for about 10000, then spent about six more trying to get it to where I want it.
Unfortunately, as happy as I am every time I drive it, I can't help but wonder if I will ever be able to get it to the point where it is a reliable daily driver... It seems like every month or two something goes wrong that costs at least a grand to fix.
If I am going to keep the car, I would like to think that as long as I keep up with the scheduled maintenance, I should be able to keep it running indefinitely, but I just don't think that is logical based on what I have seen so far.
I know many of you have older boxsters, please share your thoughts for how long you plan to keep yours running
