Porsche parts and maint isn't to bad we service some regularly. Just don't go to Weisach for parts they charge an insane amount of markup on parts.
Example, MAF from them for a Boxter is @ $900 I can get them for a third of that and still make money.
Its not a poser car it's a mid engined drivers car. Because of that it handles with great neutrality and isn't the over steering widow maker of some of its rear engined brethren.
Only those who haven't had a chance to flog one call it a poser or chicks car.

FYI don't overheat it the motors don't like that they are finicky after that and the repair is never as easy as a head gasket.

From what I've heard, you should spring for the S now, or else you may regret it later.

how do their softtops hold up? leaking issues for older model ones?

not sure had 01 and now 03
both have amazing tops -triple layered..etc.

especially 03'

plus i love my glass window

Better get the S or else it's not worth it.

They get hated on.. but they're good cars for what they are.
I was considering one not too long ago too

they are really great rides. my 03 is trouble free really.
my only advice is to buy 03 and 04 of the boxster 986 models..
all issues from 97-02 were addressed as well as 03 and 04 are rarest: Last year before new style of 987 was introduced.
Anyone w. nice local boxster? Pictures?!

I used to drive my dads all the time when he was overseas. Awesome car to drive especially with the top down!


gooo for it!
