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! |

Drove one home tonight with a 300RWHP Raby engine. The only chick that drives a car like this is one who likes to keep the car sideways through three gears.

Drove one home tonight with a 300RWHP Raby engine. The only chick that drives a car like this is one who likes to keep the car sideways through three gears. Interesting upgrade. Got any pics? Nah... It looks stock, nothing impressive. Thats the way we love it. Here is one of the only pics that matters :-) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net-1095-1361034357.1.jpg) More of them here at www.facebook.com/fixabrokensix And this one changes the whole game... Charles and I invented this one and its been a group effort between both our businesses and teams to develop it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCqiYU9uU1Y...player_embedded |
