About to buy 2001 Boxster- advice needed - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

About the option code, mine says I have option 030 sport suspention group. Does it means I'm supposed to have M030 suspention? How can I check that?

Okay, I am having the boxster given a PPI at a respected place nearby today. The dealer offered to have the car 'looked over' by their garage, who surprisingly, said it's 'perfect'! (though they admitted it needs a new gas cap and air filter).

Car fax report says he's had it regularly maintained up until 2006, then...silence. Dealer suggested he'd looked after it at a 'private mechanic'. Or perhaps not at all.

I'd love to share here the findings of the PPI....see what you guys think- worth becoming a member of your fine Porsche owners club or not?.....

Thanks again

FYI: there are guys here, who have gone over 200K miles and still there ride going a strong. You just never know.

Yea, I have over 212,500 miles on my 2001 and I will be taking it on a road trip from California to Michigan (then back) starting in two weeks. Yes, it has the original motor.
