2012-2016 Porsche Boxster/Cayman 981 | What To LOOK For When Buying One

Thank You! Great insights on Porsche cars 👏🏽

A loud clunking noise when shifting from 2 to 1 for PDK is usually a sign that the transmission oil and oil pan need to be replaced. And it is quite normal to have a slight noise when downshifting from 2 to 1.

The inner door panel comes loose, same as the leather problem.

thanks. I bought a 2015 base same as yours but with a manual transmission. Love it!

Bore scoring is a default Porsche problem and it's the most costly problem you can face with these cars for sure. Endoscopy must be performed before buying.

[@rezilient112]

981 and 987.2 model years didnt have bore scoring issues like 987.1 models (2005-2008)

@@rezilient112 I have 981 3.4 S and I got bore scoring issue recently, couple of my friends also. So I think you're no right :)

[@oHeihei]

That was fixed in the 987.2. Same with IMS issue. Bore scoring can of course still occur with a lack of maintenance, improper maintenance, vehicle abuse, but it is no longer a common issue or something to be concerned about. No more than any other car. As long as the vehicle was maintained and taken care of, it'll be fine.

@@pavelpopov6583 how do you know its bore scoring? I scoped my 981s which has 92k miles when i did the plugs and it looked fine to me.

[@IsraelSocial]

coolant repair arent expensive lol maybe if you find oil in the water but a radiator isnt that expensive!

[@Miguelsgarage]

Did you have this done at some point? How much did it cost and who did the work? was the work guaranteed?

[@IsraelSocial]

@@Miguelsgarage yes! I few months back, i replace fan with shroud ($35) and radiator cost me $95 new, i did the work it was very simple. Guaranteed? For changing a few bolts? Lol
