Hello All
After graduating in the winter, I couldn't wait to save up and get out of my rusty but loveable NA miata with 175k on the clock. It had just taken me round trip from chicago to las vegas with out breaking a sweat. Still drives great on mostly original parts! But that rust... I knew I wanted another roadster and I was considering the following:
TT(quattro for chicago winters)
s2000 (reliable and logical)
NC miata (stay in the family)
MR2 (lightweight)
SLK (Luxury)
Boxster (Pedigree)
A month ago after my first test drive in a 99 Boxster I was sold, and after a couple weeks trolling Craigslist, I have just purchased and driven home a specimen of my own. A 98 arctic silver, 88k, 3 owner, blue interior, strong drivetrain, decent exterior, with a ripped rear window on factory 17" Kumho ASX. I drove from Chicago to Xenia, OH to see this car and purchased it for $6800.
Drove smoothly all the way home and I feel quite satisfied. I plan on DIY installing a new top or possibly just purchasing a hardtop. The ignition switch doesn't really have any spring back from the start position. You have to move it towards RUN and you can barely feel the notches. It is very easy to make the starter work extra.
Is there any fix to this without replacing the ignition switch?
Im looking forward to ownership and plan on as much DIY as possible. Any thoughts or comments are appreciated!
Cheers,
Matt
