A note on all of the (older) Boxster suggestions;
This had got to be THE most PIA car I have EVER had the displeasure to work on!!!!
I am NOT saying that they do not
drive and handle great, just that you had better keep fistfuls of money available to pay someone else to fix/repair the thing when needed, IF you are not VERY capable mechanically, are NOT a small handed contortionist, and do not like to be TOTALLY p***ed off, frustrated, and cursing at a car incessantly.
More than a FULL DAY just to change out the overflow tank (which ALL of the early ones at least will need), with the resultant bloody and bruised arms and hands, and STILL not having the oil fill pipe in it's proper place in the top of the tank platform, is just ridiculous beyond the pale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't even
imagine changing plugs, or hoses on this car, or ANYTHING on top of the engine, or even cleaning any of the following; intake manifold, MAF, throttle body, air oil separator, etc.
