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! |
