I wanted to get out of my SUV and back in to a car. I was thinking used Audi S4. Dealer had one but they also just got in this Boxster S.
No only 911's are real Porsche but mucho $$$$$
Hmmm, a Boxster S. I emailed pics to my wife ... What do you Think.....
Made an appt. to test drive but chickened out
Next day price dropped a bit. I went up and that was it, done deal
First and only P-car I looked at (Father had a 914 I drove occasionally)
No PPI
I did buy an extended Power train warranty for 3 years
I had read a bit to check for any hints of oil leaks - Dry as could be and still is
I am very happy. It has all the right options for me. The tires and brakes were new. Plastic window was and still is crystal clear
I've put 15k miles on in a 1 1/2 years with only oil, plugs, belt, motor mount, Radiator cap, Gas cap.
The Clutch is good, still right in the middle for engagement
Yes it is starting to need some more repairs like front suspension components but at 67k - expected
It only broke down once(Fuel Pump Relay) - Still was able to limp home, diagnose and fix for $25
