Low Mileage A Concern?

[blinkwatt]

That's wayyyyyy to low mileage to buy without a warranty.

To be honest I've noticed most IMS failures(blown engine) occur on 3.2L,not trying to scare you but I want you to know the truth.

The lowest mileage on any Boxster I'd buy is 30k unless it's brand new where it would come with the factory warranty.

Hey - thanks for all the info and tips. I did get a PPI, which was clean. Bought the car last week and have been having a blast driving it.

hello all,
I just dropped off my '03 986, w/ 44K miles, at my local authorized dealership expressing some concerns about various petty problems,(rough idle, rear window defroster connection, a rattling drivers window). My intention was to get a final 'fine-tooth-comb, check-everything-out-before-the-warranty-expires-next-month' once over from my local 'Porsche Authority'. I was advised that a '45,000 mile interval service should be performed... 'fluid exchange, filters replaced, software updated, wheels balanced, etc. From the forum, what should I expect to be a reasonable and customary charge for this type of service?.

Avid,

I had the 45k mi service done at the dealer in September.

Quoted $560 ( paid $578.69 with tax )

My advice is to call around, quoted price varied tremendously by dealer :

$600 +/- seems to be the norm.

Hope this helps...
