Hello all, new to this site, I have been viewing this forum for about 3 years and have gained much valuable information. A little about my background I have worked as a automotive manufacturing engineer for over 20 and have owned a total of 5 different model Porsche's from the baby 914 to the 930 and now a 02 Boxster base. I purchased the 986 2 years ago which I found on Cars.com I was a bit crazy or stupid regarding the purchasing of the car but it was undervalued at about 3k at the time so checked the cars history on CarFacs it came up clean then placed a deposit on the car sight unseen from a dealer in Texas, flew from CT. did a basic inspection, all looked OK except for a slight rear main seal leak which had been documented to have had a problem some 30k miles ago. I completed the purchase of the car and dove it 2,3k miles to CT with no problems. The only problem I have had with the car in 2.5+ years of ownership is the front trunk latch will not release 102K when purchased.
