Yesterday afternoon my '99 Boxster rolled past the 100,000 mile mark. Next month it will be 4 years since I bought it and I've put 42k miles on it. It certainly hasn't been a cheap car to own but I have no regrets.
It still has the original engine and transmission. I had the IMS and RMS changed when the transmission was out last month so I hope I don't have to worry about those two problems for awhile. I've also replaced almost all of the parts that are known to be prone to failure. Once you get to know these cars they are surprisingly easy to work on.

I only thing I can't stand about the car is that stupid speedometer 'safety factor'.

I also want to thank all the people on this forum who have helped me with repairs these past few years.

Regards,
mike
