Boxster advice?, 2000 S Options

[thomasotten]

Hello guys,

I have the opportunity to buy a 2000 Boxster S for a pretty good price. It has about 90,000 miles on it, and seems in pretty good shape. Since 914 runs in my blood, I come here for advice. I did some reading on the early models, they seem to have engine problems. I am not sure if the S model has these or not. But any tips of advice would be appreciated with this model of car.

Thanks,

They are really great cars! The Rennlist crap is so over rated and repeated by so many people that have no experience themselves. As long as they keep this up everyone else can enjoy great Boxsters and 996 cars at a n extreme discount.

Don’t get me wrong these two items can happen but it is so rare that the risk is very low and as others have commented they can be eliminated. Every Porsche model and most all cars in general have certain issues.

I have been to a large Porsche dealer in Cleveland that specializes in building these engines and sets them up for race cars. They have had thousands of customers over the years and they have only seen a handful of these problems. Most of the IMS problems are caused by poor oil change history or extremely low mileage stored cars.

Run them hard, as was intended, and enjoy an amazing car for the money!
