What is the weight of the Porsche Boxster in comparison to the 914 and what size engines were available in them? Were there any quirks about the car that a person looking to buy one should be aware of?

I have a 99 Boxster. The motor had 18k one owner car. Engine went tits up. New motor from PORSCHE.
There was a known problem, machining at the engine build facility was off. So PORSCHE replaced alot of motors. If you are buying one ask for documentation for motor replacement. Also the later year I believe 2001 they went with a glass rear window in the soft top. Huge improvement. It can be found in an aftermarket top by HAHN. Market is soft on the 986. I have seen them for $12,000 running driving car, high miles but still a driver. Due diligence is the buyers best friend. CCLINCAMP986 |
