I’ve been lurking here for a few months, but didn’t want to post until I acquired my car.
A friend purchased a low mileage Boxster S from the original owner a few years ago. He is a meticulous concourse guy. Did all of items pointed out in the PPI as well as the IMSB and clutch at 44,000 miles. He only put about 6000 miles on the car during his ownership. The car is Polar Silver with blue top and seats. It has 24 options, many of them are leather covered interior appointments.
A 911 restoration project prompted my buddy to offer to sell the Boxster to me, and I bought it yesterday. On the drive home from Santa Barbara I realized what amazing machines these cars are.
The newest Porsche I have owned is a 1969 912/6 with a 3.0 motor and highly modified suspension. While the Boxster obviously much more refined and comfortable than the 69, it is also faster and handles better.
I have a large file of maintenance records going back many years.
I couldn’t be happier with the purchase.
This forum is great and a terrific source of practical information.
