First real post here. Been reading threads for a couple of months as I've been looking at Boxsters. Sold an Infiniti FX45 and started looking for a replacement. Was planning on a Miata until my fantastic wife suggested a Boxster. First time she got in one, told me forget the Miata idea.
So, ended up with a 2001 base. Nothing 'special' other than it's mine. has a new top with glass window. 63k on the odometer. Overall in fantastic shape. Seems like most of the ones we looked at had been hit somewhere or the body didn't line up quite right.
No service history with it and I ignored the advice to have a PPI. Done them with other cars before and never felt I got my money's worth. I do plan to have it checked out by a Porsche mechanic in the not-too distant future to see if they can find anything I need to address. Got a good enough deal on it and am planning on clutch/IMSB. I'll be watching the oil filter for metal. Also going to be doing 60k service on my own in the next month or so. No proof it was done and I'm not sure how to tell so figure I'll just do it all.
I expect to be asking plenty of questions as I spend more time playing with it and working on it. Other than the normal maintenance stuff, I'm planning on some type of double DIN radio to replace stock and the cupholders as well as an exhaust. We'll see how it all goes!
