I was the original poster of this thread so I take full responsibility. Yep throw rotten eggs at me. If a would be buyer saw this thread he would run a mile. If I was going to start a business on the strength of this thread alone I would call it "Boxster problems? call 1 800 986 Shrink....
I have never known a car like this in my life where me personally I can choose to throw a ton of money by at it replacing stuff or just let it go till something breaks. Either way it is catch 22 with my wife. The niggling stuff irritates my wife because she says her Camry costs nothing to run after 12 years of ownership and I am always tinkering with the Box. My response is that your Camry is so boring to drive.....
Yes this forum can make Boxster owners a more cohesive group by sharing knowledge and everybody does that well. Now if only we could get Jake to come out of his hiding place. But I know that 986 owners will beat a path to him because he has good products. He does not even have to scare anybody to do it.
