Boxsters with reliable engines

[Pinarelloman]

You know, I have been a Porsche fan since day 1 when I began spannering changing engines & gearboxes in VW type 1 Beetles. Buying 2 crap cars to make 1 good one.During that time we (dad & I)always dreamt of Porsches. Fast forward 30Yrs and I have a 2001 BOX 3.2. The look on his face, when the garage opened, I will never forget. He is 78 now and loves the car.
I have replaced the IMS bearing for peace of mind & recently did the water pump & low temp thermostat & engine mount.
Overall the vehicle is reliable & well cared for.
Definitely recommend a PPI by a qualified P car mechanic.
Be careful what you buy and it will serve you well. Buy bad & you will pay$$$$

Nice Story Dave. Like hearing stuff like that. Similar story except with my 18 year
old son.
