Do tell Recycled, what happened.

HI Craig,
I was into the 3rd year of ownership of my 2001 Boxster base. Most of everybody has heard about mine. Got a CEL light. Camshaft deviation out of tolerance and got green crud in the oil filter. Likely chain guide rails disintegrating. I let the prospective buyer know what was going on and sold as is. I did however drive it in our cold winters and I think that this is really hard on the motor. Scotland does not get the extreme temps we get here.

Don't let me discourage you from your P plans. My next sports car will be a used Miata which I have had before. Considerably cheaper to run but less car than a Boxster. The car after the next Miata will likely be a you guessed it a P car of some description. I have no regrets of having a Boxster in my past. The most fun motoring in my life.

PM sent Craig.
Cheers, Guy
