Hey guys,
gettin' serious about replacing my high mileage '98 chevy blazer and would like to move to a boxster. ive done some (read not much) research on them and have seen that 2.5L models have RMS issues. seems to be only main issue with them so far I am talking to someone who has a 55,000 mile '98 model which is listed as an "S". what im wondering is, did they even have an S model in '98 and if the seller truly doesnt know, is there something on the car that would identify 100% as an S model? (badging, engine, etc) Other things I should look out for when checking it out/test driving it? It was also listed as a 5speed.. Wouldnt all S models be 6 speed? Thanks so much! oh yea.. what would be a decent price for a '98 S (if it actually is) in very good condition and all service records with no issues? |
