Hoping the members here that also have Boxsters can give me some of their feedback and experience with the model.
I've been looking at Boxsters for over awhile. I drove a 2007 Boxster S automatic with Triptonic today that has 14,429 miles on it. It is being sold by a non-Porsche dealer. I have scoured the Boxster websites, but the main issue that seems to come up is the rear main seal (RMS) and the potential destruction of the engine if their is a catastrophic failure of the seal. Appears to have been corrected from 2009 forward. I called our local Porsche dealership, they reviewed the work history on the car and there is nothing for RMS. I looked underneath and it appears very clean. The dealer gave me a carfax report which shows the owner history etc, but nothing shows up that would cause concern (i don't trust carfax reports provided by a dealer-seems self serving). Long story short, those of you with experience-I'm hoping you can provide me with the good/bad/ugly of your experiences. Appreciate the feedback! |

You need to talk to Joe at Series 9. He has been doing all kinds of work on all of the Boxters. He knows which years they changed and what changes they made.
From what I recall the 05 to 09 have a bearing that needs to have the hole motor torn down to replace. His e-mail www.914rs.com phone 386-256-9146 |
