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?

The rear main seal was a problem in these cars along with the 996. If the seal wasn't leaking by about 35K miles then they didnt develop leaks typically. The number of owners reporting this problem seemed rather high, but it is hard to determine how wide spread it actually was.
Porsche apparently has a go/no-go fixture for determining if a replacement seal with fix the issue. Also they install the new redesigned seal at a different depth to help eliminate the issue if I remember correctly. hope this helps. Jim |
