Carfax not helping

When it comes to automobiles, I think we all have a pretty good understanding of what an "Accident" is. Get a dime out, reduce it to half and tell if that damage rises to the level of an accident.

Carfax causing needless losses

I am disappointed with the CARFAX report, because they unnecessarily cheapen the car by associating it with an "Accident". The dent is not more than a half dime, the car was not involved in the...

Carfax not helping

I will move on, but I think CARFAX is causing losses to sellers by reporting things that are not relevant. Any attorneys listening? How many sellers have been hurt by this nonsense?

Carfax not helping

I listed a nice 2001 S on a popular auction site a few days ago. In the process, I saw that CARFAX reported a minor accident for my car. I was very surprised, because I was not aware that the car had...

I agree, that would be the next thing to check, but I think I also need to try the latch bolt mechanism with the top off. I always assumed it was working fine but never verified. Just checked that...

Hardtop Install

I removed the side panel and backed the bolt out a few turns. The clamp spread is now equal to the passenger side. Everything is back in place with the same result. The driver side lever only goes...

Hardtop Install

The locks are in correctly, but I remember that the driver's side bolt did not go in as far as the passenger side one. I then tightened it with more effort and made it almost touch the outer panel...

Hardtop install adjustment question

I installed a spin lock set on my 2001 S. The hardtop fits fine in front and the passenger side. The driver side latch however will not close, it goes 1/3 of the way and hits something hard. Do I...

Boxster Hardtop Paint it or not

I referred to the 987/986 models in terms of accepting "A" hardtop. The tops for each model are different, a 986 hardtop will not fit a 987 car and vice versa. Sorry if I made that confusing.

Boxster Hardtop Survey Paint it or not?

After storing the perfect condition hardtop for two years (and almost selling it), we finally found the right car for it.
I know it's a 987 not a 986, but the question applies to both.

The color...

6 Speed Manual Transmission oil change

Thank you so much. This answered all my questions. Great to see pictures match my car. Transmission fluid is out, now I have to decide whether I should use Swepco 201 or go with the Sunset formula.

So you think I could ask for 10% to provide corroborating evidence to the contrary?
