Buying a 986 Boxster

[Zzorro]

Buy one and find out. Do your homework.

If you do the work yourself you save a lot of money. I bought one that was abused and needed work. High kms. Not pretty etc. So price reflected that.

I am into it for parts alone for about 1/3 what I paid for the car and have done all the work myself (with a lot of help from this and other forums and YouTube etc.). But virtually everything that needs to be done as far an engine maintenance and suspension is done and I have nice wheels and good rubber too. I have enjoyed the journey and have been rewarded with a very fun car to drive. It has almost satiated my original desires to buy a 911.

I figure I still have another 30% in car value to go to finish everything ( body work, getting the alarm system (CLU - etc) to work. But none of that is necessary for that satisfying, analog sports car drive.

So I would call that basically a 20yo car experience. Hope that helps. Good luck.
