My friend owns an 02 Boxster and it's been my first experience working on one. The only things I've replaced were the headlamp switch and oil separator in three years. The oil separator isn't the worst service, but I did find it handy to have a second hand at the top of the engine bay as I aligned the lower portion of it. The headlamp switch was ridiculously easy to remove and replace. Quite frankly, it's a great little car that will bring smiles for miles as a toy. Especially cruising the two lanes here in SW Virginia.

[@FredLarracuente]

Scotty is absolutely right. I've been a Porsche owner and enthusiast for over 30 yrs. Never bought one brand new, always 2nd hand and do all the repair work myself. The only way to own them on a budget IMHO. They're not that bad to work on and actually very well designed and very very well documented. There's a huge community of enthusiast to support you too. That's always good. Those boxsters in particular are great fun project cars. The engines are somewhat fragile but work great as long as you take care of the well-known serious flaws and maintain them. You can even EV them, LS swap them or pretty much anything you want if the OE engine goes out. Is a great DIYer platform. They're great at that but they'll require more maintenance than a honda or toyota for sure. UHP tires wear out quicker than you think and it gets expensive quick if you daily them around a city. Also budget for 8-9 qts of oil + filter every 5K-7K miles.

I have a 2010 Highlander with 105 miles that I bought new. It's amazing. It enabled me to get a 2018 Porsche Panamera 4s with 13k orig owner miles. Well maintained l. Trick is to change fluids when specified! I also got a 6 yr bumper to bumper warranty for 4k from the Mercedes dealer I got the car from. I researched the company (RoadVantage) and people say they do pay for repairs as promised IF you follow the owner's manual. My local Porsche dealer says they accept it and almost always get paid fast. He said, especially if you have service records. If your radiator leaks, the first thing they ask for is service records. If you have it, case closed, they pay and pay fast. I'm retired and only going to put 4k miles a year on it. Car won't even have 40k miles when the warranty expires

[@bretthansen8166]

The Cayman is a much better looking car to me personally, but both cayman and it’s sister car the boxster are fun to drive no question!

I love daily my 2009 Porsche Boxster 987.2 with PDK trans, 60k miles, 1 previous owner.

[@rob5944]

It pays to do your homework, I got my late model Lexus Sc430 with 56k and it's immaculate for £10,500. Did the belt&water pump and it's been no trouble, just bought some minor trim fittings for about £25! . I'm going to change the transmission and diff fluid soon as per Scotty's advice 😉

Great car. Easiest car I ever worked on was a 986 Porsche Boxster. Expensive? Can be. Buying a 986 that maybe hasn't been used in a long while will be replacing parts. But the parts aren't expensive. Water pump thru Porsche costs over 500 USD. Thru the manufacturer, which is Pierburg, it cost me 220. Fuel pump same issue. Around 500 from a Porsche dealer or thru Pierburg who also made that pump, 200 bucks. Ims bearing is an overrated scare. It's a bearing. Yes it will fail. All bearings fail. But there is a rule of thumb in the 986/987 community.... if it went past 50k miles it won't break in a while. Which some bearings do get shipped bad. What's scarier than the IMS and more common? Bore scarring. Horizontal pistons scar the bore over time.

[@mickeyhartsell6096]

I love the Boxter but personally I like the Honda S2000 more.

At first I thought Scotty was going to be in a PT Cruiser Turbo with the automatic. I guess you could say that the Porsches that I grew up with were those 911s from the 70s and 80s. They were much more simple and were well built. It was said that you could fix them with a hammer. Values on those now are just outrageous.

[@user-tl6qt3er2s]

OMG I totally agree with about the Porsche SUV or even the 4 door Porsche panorama. I think is the name but I do like the mid engine Baxter's and Cayman and the king of the em all 911 Carrera cabinet 👍

[@Phidelity1984]

I bought a Porsche 944 all original N/A 12 years ago from only photos. The only thing I've had to replace is the a/c compressor (sat too much) and hood/trunk struts. All else has been optional/maintenance.

Excellent lawn ornament 😅

[@monrow11]

German cars are fantastic. As long as your willing to maintain the things. If your not.....it’s going to eat you for lunch. Do some work yourself. Know when your over your head. And put good oil in them. The body and chassis last forever. Japanese cars can be neglected to a point. But eventually they fall apart and rust away. Porsche’s go forever.

[@johnbee7729]

Great deal on the Boxster. UK had that pricing several years ago - still waiting in Canada for the good deals

MR2 Spyder is my toy....and my daily.

[@lucasstuart-chilcote7069]

I literally have been looking at these first gen Boxsters the last week. Just saw Scotty’s video. The engine in them seem pretty tough after my research and no crazy electrical issues. Good deals can be found! $

[@risinbison1106]

Bought a 2000 boxster S with manual trans. Blast to drive but be aware that you will sink $500-1000 every year in repairs as they age.

[@wholeNwon]

Only if you are very lucky.

[@EjinRenos]

All old cars get costly to repair as parts age and fail. But Porsche isn't as expensive as many think. Cheaper than both Mercedes and BMW which are both more common

[@jsz2619]

Soon we're gonna see cars on Scotty's driveway like Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar and maybe Volvo.

[@wenforhu5099]

........godzillion videos, never heard Scotty mention a Volvo, guess I should find some vintage pics of my old '65 Volvo coupe (think shrunk up '46 Ford to get a Scotty rif on the "good ole days"... Mechanics loved first Volvo s imported in late 50's.....mostly on west coast....but 'people' weren't into retro look....!!!...but bet Scotty would have loved 'em!!!

[@jamescaron6465]

You HAVE to maintain Porsches. If you don't want things to break, maintenance especially fluid maintenance is critical and take the maintenance intervals and cut them in half. I had a 911 that was not maintained well and I paid dearly. and Air cooled is more like oil cooled which is why you change the oil at 3K and no longer,

[@amatod4]

Just make sure you change the IMS bearing on a regular basis.

[@davidvicari5139]

At 2000 miles per year, every 40 years should do it.

[@amatod4]

@@davidvicari5139 good point!

[@twlowe19]

i had a 2005 boxster and loved it. had it for 4 years and put 60K on it. i spent around 2-3K a year to maintain it. the thing never dropped me and it was stupid fun. i drove it all year, had to sell it to pay for home improvements and will definitely buy another one. you WILL pay some no matter what but it was fun enough to be worth it. agree totally, research everything before you buy!
