I second the concern about the price being too low. As was stated, make sure he knows quantity and quality of oil required. It is actually one the easiest oil changes to do.

Sounds like a car everyone else here is looking for. Easily worth $12k. If it were on BaT, it would bring close to $15k, IMO. This is assuming he has documentation for the clutch/RMS/IMSB service.

If I am reading you correctly, around $5000 for a 50k Boxster sounds good. I agree with Cristian. Snatch it up. Many here prefer the 2.7 to all other 986 models. We need pics.

Your car looks great. If you want to update the look, paint the wheels gloss black. Black wheels with that color would look badass.

I don't think I would take it to the same dealer who told me it was a pilot bearing. Do you have any independent Porsche shops in your area? Your local PCA chapter can help you find one.

I have not done any disassembly yet. I don't know what I am going to do, yet. I don't want to take them apart. I am trying to figure out a way to cover the bolts to keep them from getting painted.

What do you mean they cannot be "rec'd". I have a set of these that I was going to sand and paint (not powdercoat). Maybe gloss black.

Peter, those Cayman wheels look good. I am usually an originalist when it comes to wheels, but I was thinking about a set of those for my '01S.

Two-piece 18" wheels

To anyone who has these two-piece wheels: are there any problems with keeping these things true or balanced? I have had two-piece wheels in the past and they were a problem.
Thanks in advance...

A good paint job will cost more than your car is worth. You might want to try a Maaco paint job and then have someone do a correction on it.
