Not long after wards he had to pull the motor and go completely through it. Also, you might want one with a hardtop...rains a lot in England and the top will leak and once that computer under the driver seat gets soaked look for about a $2K bill. Good luck.
Does the soft top really leak?! Im surprised at that??? Not a surprise in a 15 year olf MX5- but a Boxster? Is this a common problem?

Indeed i will have it professionally inspected before i pay!
