I'm thinking of getting a 2000 - 2002 Boxster or S model to use as a daily driver and retire my '74 2.0 to weekend use. I don't have any personal Boxster experience nor do I know anyone who has any..... Just what I've read, mainly in Excellence magazine. I plan on test driving a couple of cars this weekend.
Anyone have any general advice? What to look, feel, or listen for? How much difference, (better?) in the S model over the 2.7? thanks, dg |

My wife had a 1997 Boxster with Tip, we sold it with 117' Mls, no issues with the enginge. I have a 1999 996 C2 as daily driver, I have now more than 90' Mls on the car and no engine issues. I had to relace the tranny, they have a problem with the syncros and rebuilding was more expensive than buying a used tranny, but overall the best car I had so far and I plan to drive it a few more years. I do all the maintenance by myself, they are great to work on. I would also check on rennlist, they are usually very helpful and a fe of them have Boxsters with more than 100' Mls on it without any problems so far. We are also looking for a Boxser again for my wife, but this time probably a Boxster S.
