Proactively Maintaining a Low Mileage Boxster?

Seadweller, even as the mileage shows a car with (extremely low mileage), 10 years later I would have replaced ALL of the rubber hoses, like cooling, hydraulic (slave & calipers), fuel, air, vacuum, AOS, etc.,) as all of these go bad about every ten years..

Now, your car is 20.., perhaps you may want to check out all these rubber parts.

Cheers :-)

PS: O2 pump too

Good idea on the rubber components. The brake lines were changed out with stainless steel by the PO, but I'll check the condition of the other rubber hoses.

I do need to drive it more, but just don't have the time. I'm either in my home office or on a plane with a very busy life.

I had my indie mechanic give it a good look over on mine when it went in for the Oil and filter change. Not sure he did but he said he didn't see anything that look to be ready to fail do to age. Oct should be my next maint. having the stainless break lines, GT cooling ducts and better pads installed.
