2006 Porsche Boxster Review

[@nilwccm123]

That interior looking astunishing, really cool little budget Porsche! Good video, well explained

[@MissallsCarLife]

It’s a very fun car! Thank you!

[@alejandrogutierrz7407]

Not cheap anymore lol

[@fb1000000]

Not cheap considering maintenance costs

[@MissallsCarLife]

@@alejandrogutierrz7407 yeah I guess at one point it was lol

[@MissallsCarLife]

@@fb1000000 I think you would be surprised. I work on my car so it really hasn’t been bad at all

[@Nulrom]

Neat review dude. A little old school but in a good way. 5 minutes and your have all.

[@peterkethkeo]

Good video man. Straight to the point while still being thorough enough. The bloopers even gave me a laugh too. Definitely am looking at a 987 thanks for the review 🙏🏻

[@MissallsCarLife]

Thanks man! Yeah the bloopers were my friends idea glad you got a laugh out of it!

[@nelsryan6442]

absolutely beautiful man. for a young dude this is the sickest car you can get. I’m trying to get one next summer

[@MissallsCarLife]

Thanks man! Its one hell of a fun car good to work on too changed the oil and a few other things my self

[@nelsryan6442]

@@MissallsCarLife thats awesome man. I must ask tho how did you afford this at our age?

[@MissallsCarLife]

@@nelsryan6442 dad helped a little I was actually going to buy a little used truck and this was cheaper than all the ones I was looking at

[@nelsryan6442]

Nice

🤣🤣🤣 can’t say he didn’t get straight to the point. Because he did.

[@jaconmojica4452]

Good video kido. Gota say seeing an American review this is great.

[@MissallsCarLife]

Thank you very much! I plan on making more videos and also some more in depth videos on things I never covered.

[@rattanack1413]

We need a long term update buddy!!

[@MissallsCarLife]

Well, the long term update isn’t what you’d expect 😅 my beloved boxster was crashed into earlier in the year. If you’d like to see other reviews I’ve done, go to the star motor cars preowned KZbin channel

[@MissallsCarLife]

The Boxster overall was a fantastic car and I can’t recommend one more, I drove it to almost 100k miles before it was in it accident. Even in the accident it truly saved my life and took it like a badass. That car is one hell of a machine and there are many more in my future.

[@MissallsCarLife]

I will be recording a video soon on my new car and it will be like a long term update!

[@RandomGamesProductions]

So glad I found this I want a booster so bad

[@MissallsCarLife]

It really is a fantastic vehicle!

[@the_michaelricci]

Did you have to do any major repairs and how many owners owned it previously

[@MissallsCarLife]

Only a few repairs like the oil air separator and a few minor things. There were 2 owners before me

[@watiwo]

Thinking about buying one how's maintenance been cost wise etc. I'm just going to be commuting with it prolly will only put about 8k miles on it annually

[@MissallsCarLife]

Hey that's a great idea! Mechanically it has been amazing and when I have had to do stuff its easy to work on small things, and relatively inexpensive. These cars are amazing to drive and are super fun.

[@leonardovillarreal428]

great video cole missal

[@MissallsCarLife]

Thank you

[@mrssarosh8501]

Excellent video

[@MissallsCarLife]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@baddriversoftennessee]

I see you had a dashcam installed. If you had it installed to the 12V outlet, do you remember if the camera was always recording or if it turned off with the car?

[@MissallsCarLife]

Hello! So on this car the camera was always recording, it was plugged into the 12v socket on the left hand side of the passanger compartment and ran up below the glove box and ran up the passanger A piller. Great little camera. I am recording a new video on my 2006 Cayman S soon and have a similer camera setup in that vehicle as well, I will highlight it in the video for you. Hope this helps!

[@baddriversoftennessee]

@@MissallsCarLife Thank you, I appreciate it!

[@MissallsCarLife]

@@baddriversoftennessee Of course! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

[@joeyomari4943]

I’m gonna be driving senior year. Do you think this a good first car. (I’m 17)

[@MissallsCarLife]

Idc. It’s a great first car it has good gas mileage plenty of room the only thing is 2 seats

[@Gladiator34B]

I’d say no because any fender benders will be really expensive to repair

[@MissallsCarLife]

that is true but I don't think it would be as bad as you would think.

[@MissallsCarLife]

@@Gladiator34B oh my gosh I just realized that I said idc! I meant idk! So sorry if that came off the wrong way!!

[@brylieve]

Great video man

[@MissallsCarLife]

I appreciate it man! I plan to make a newer video on it some time

[@sam.s.b.fsaberiifar2233]

So nice

[@dominicbourge9511]

Thank you❤️for this

[@raymondmumford6255]

I have the same car, can I ask do the stalks for blinkers, wipers, cruise and function light up of a night when the lights are on? Thanks

[@MissallsCarLife]

They do not as far as I am aware

[@renerivas2384]

I just picked up an 06. Mileage was super low. Is the IMS failure a big deal in this year?? What items have you had to address mechanically?

[@MissallsCarLife]

So from what I have researched only 6% of cars have the failure and most of the failures are on cars that sit and are not driven. So far only the typical mechanical problems like the Air Oil Separator and I replaced the breaks and break pads.

[@noschavlogs336]

very nice review.

[@MissallsCarLife]

Thank you very much!

[@BernonCars]

Good video!!

[@MissallsCarLife]

Thank you!

[@nelsryan6442]

One question I do have is how much your insurance went up after getting this car?

[@MissallsCarLife]

Don’t think it went up to much

[@CarlsGarage1]

did you retrofit the tail light with LED? where did you get it? I want to put a LED tail light on my 06 Boxster S but not sure if it is plug and play

[@MissallsCarLife]

Xiaotong Li Yes it’s plug and play I got them on amazon Name - VIPMOTOZ LED They are around 450$

[@CarlsGarage1]

@@MissallsCarLife they look so much better than the stock one

[@MissallsCarLife]

Xiaotong Li for sure!

[@pm5653]

where did you buy the back lights (LED)?

[@MissallsCarLife]

Found them on Amazon for a pretty good price

[@pm5653]

thx for sharing

[@carspottingmrgold9378]

Cool video keep it up,you done a good job 👍 nice to see your mistakes at the end

[@MissallsCarLife]

Car spotting mrgold thank you! Wasn’t sure how that was going to turn out!

[@trevorgarrett7602]

I hope he’s fully aware how lucky his. Only 4 speakers? None in the dash?

[@MissallsCarLife]

I am fully aware. This car did not have the optional speaker package so 4 speakers is all it came with. Even without the upgrade the sound system in the car is amazing.

[@juanmorquecho3658]

Do a 1996 3.4L V6 Camaro review

Whats the exact model??

[@MissallsCarLife]

Is a 2006 987.1 Porsche Boxster base with the Boxster s wheels option

[@radifumi3447]

Timing chain oryginal?

[@MissallsCarLife]

yes

[@mattlucier99]

How many miles

[@MissallsCarLife]

84,000

[@andresmadrid5017]

How come some have the touch screen and others don’t

[@andresmadrid5017]

also are all models auto

[@MissallsCarLife]

This car has an after market radio in it but when I first got the car it did not have the touch screen. Also on some later 987 Boxster base and 987 Boxster s cars had the oem screen radio

[@MissallsCarLife]

@@andresmadrid5017 not all models are auto this car is fitted with the tiptronic gearbox but a majority of boxsters and caymans have the 5 speed manual gearbox 👍

[@palm450]

Is it automatic transmission or manual?

[@MissallsCarLife]

@Muhammad Zafir it is convertible

@@radifumi3447 yes it’s a 5 speed

[@jonsinghiprivera8574]

Do you changed IMS?

[@MissallsCarLife]

Jonsing Hip Rivera has not been changed, and all is good 👍

[@abcplumbing5883]

I recommend check the stage of use on ims I know for sure between 65k to 90k miles breaks and bye motor have to remplace and it's expensive it's just an advice

[@MissallsCarLife]

@@abcplumbing5883 We change the oil every 5 thousand miles and always check for signs of medal or plastic. Most IMS fails happen on low miles cars and only really happens to 6% of cars.

[@MK-su6eg]

@@MissallsCarLife so far. So good, 2006 boxster s, 130 k miles! Second owner,2019, and check oil change, clean!! Next oil change 2021FALL! Hope alls good! No metal or anything!! Thinking positive!

[@thejeffinator2355]

Dude how much did that cost I wanna get that for my first car :p

[@MissallsCarLife]

Way less than you might think, around 14k

[@n3307v]

PDK, good grief.

[@MissallsCarLife]

This car is fitted with the tiptrionic gearbox, not the PDK but I would have preferred a manual.

The pdk was introduced in 2009 this car is a 2006 model

Nobody gonna ask how a 16 year old driving this?

Lol! We bought this car for an awesome price back before the car market went crazy. Don't get me wrong this is a super awesome and amazing car for some one as young as I am, but I don't think this vehicle is as expensive as you would think.
