Had my 05 Boxster S for almost three years now. Only time it left me stranded was a month or so after buying it when the fuel pump failed. Been good so far. Here it goes.


Fuel Pump (my car sat for a while waiting for me)
O rign for AOS (should of replaced the whole thing)
Cleaned Radiators x2 (2nd time by me looked good)
Bled Brakes (North Tx Box Enthusiast first outing)
Convertible top push arm ( paid the dealership after they knew I was going to do it myself. Bday weekend)
New to me floor mats
New Key Fob (ebay swop version)
Window micro switch
New set of tires all around
Four Oil changes
Cabin filter Particle filter x2
LN Retrofit
New Clutch
New Water Pump
New RMS Seal
New Spark Plugs 6 ( done by me now a qualified contortionist)
Bought but not installed front brake pads and rotors. Still going on 1st set. Dealer recommending changing when I first bought it but there not done yet!

I had to replace the water pump on the 3rd day of ownership at 45k miles.

But since then, not a damn thing! Aside from a flat tire. Now at 55k miles.
