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 researched the company (RoadVantage) and people say they do pay for repairs as promised IF you follow the owner's manual.

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.

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

Scotty, for all you do......this Memorial Day 🇺🇸 is for you. Relax, you deserve it.🙃

[@wenforhu5099]

..... Na, na,na.......'relaxing' is just an over-praised pastime.....keep it like you are,... Scotty....we need your enthusiasm (s)!!!!!!

[@g5alive795]

@@wenforhu5099 You're right! "We can all relax we we're dead", as the old saying goes. Scotty will be around for a good long time cuz he's so active.😎

[@NeverTalkToCops1]

No, no, no. Some Porsche models experience failure of something called "Intermediate Shaft Bearing" If this fails, your engine may need replacement. That's why they're cheap to buy.

[@EjinRenos]

That's actually overrated. All bearings will fail at some point and some did have early failures but overall the IMS was a scare to the few hundred or so owners who did have it happen to them.

Nice car, I'm thinking of buying one. Thank you Scotty!
