    A few years back I owned a black 2004 Boxster S. Almost 200'000kms on the clock, yet still running flawlessly. I redid the suspension, replaced the IMS bearing, put a short shifter and a catback system on it and had a hoot. Drove it in winter in the mountains, and even took it camping to the south of France, because it had plenty of luggage space. I can fully recommend them. Wonderful cars for the money.

  • @79TAGio
    @79TAGio 7 лет назад +16

    It’s about time a big RUclipsr covered the 986. Everyone knows the 996 is a great deal but completely ignore the 986. I purchased my 2003 a couple years ago as daily driver and I couldn’t be more satisfied. For 8-14k you cannot beat it in terms of build quality, sound, and reliability. The only problem is once you own a Porsche it’ll change your perspective and expectations for cars forever.

    I could afford either a Boxster or a 944 as a 26 year old student. I went with the 944 in the end and I absolutely love it. Only thing the Boxster beats the 944 in is that flat-six howl. But the 944 does have pop up headlights and where I'm form cheap tax & insurance because its a classic.

    986 boxster ...awesome balance , poise , adjustable even when you exceed it's high limits .You can go into corners as fast as you dare and it just shrugs it's shoulders as if to say is that all you got ? Exceed the limits and it works with you to get you out of trouble .Best handling car I have ever owned and I have owned dozens of fast cars .Induction noise is lovely especially with the roof down (which adds another dimension to the driving experience) brakes are perfect .Go for a 3.2 s .No sat nav , no traction control , no bluetooth , just a old school mechanical connection with the driver .If it was a plane it would be a world war 2 spitfire , you just become part of it . Reliable and fun , just the right safe side of fast , had mine 3 years , never missed a beat and makes me smile every time I drive it hard .
    Only people who ever slate them are people that have never driven one .Keep an open mind and be impressed .

    Awesome presentation on the Box. A couple years ago I was shopping around for either a 986 or s2000, something convertible and fun to enjoy during the summer months. Ended up with a black 1999 986 and have been in love with the car since. Awesome package in a such a tiny 2 seater car and the Porsche community is 1 of the best. Now on the lookout to replace my daily driver with a Panamera or Macan.

    For all of us concerned about the Porsche IMS Bearing issue - I found a very informative article from Autohaus Hamilton in Australia about the IMS. The article also lists all the models and engines (with engine numbers) that are affected. To read the article just type in “Autohaus Hamilton IMS” into google. The Porsche models that are prone to IMS failure and should be replaced are: - All 986 Boxster models. - 987 Cayman & Boxster models up to engine number 61504715 - All 996 models (not including: GT and Turbo models) - 997 3.6ltr with M96/05 up to engine number 6950745

    I did this, I bought my first Boxster S when I was 20, insurance was cheap for what it was. I guess not a lot of 20 year olds either owned this car or claimed on their insurance. Mine was around £1600 with 2 years N/C.

    The 986 is a total joy to own. It always puts a smile on your face. When I see people drive mine they all wear the "Stuttgart Grin". A mid engine Porsche with Hungarian aviation heritage going back to the 550 that is affordable,serviceable and has unique quality engineering, what are you waiting for?

  • @skylarksinera
    @skylarksinera 2 года назад +1

    I’d recommend anyone to get a regular Boxster bc there’s really no point in buying a Boxster S, even if you’re looking for performance. An early model S will run u like $15,000/20,000 depending on the condition, if you’re looking for a pretty affordable and fast porche, I’d say to look for a 2003/2006 911 Carrera which is bigger, newer, faster, and they’re around the same price as a Boxster S ($20,000)

  • @PressurenFlames
    @PressurenFlames 7 лет назад +1

    I also like the Boxste/Cayman as cars but you've forgot to mention the huge service costs for the Boxster (same as for the Cayman) because of its hidden mid engine. This fact makes the S2000 way more attractive even if it is a little bit slower and has less torque. S2000 with a J-series 6 cylinder in it would be a dream ;)

    its all a game of luck with those old Boxsters, you could have a bearing failure on day 1 or year 10 but once it happens your looking at an engine swap bill at around $11,000 so most smart people pass on the Boxster especially in America

      Kristoffer Romin It runs, got full years mot, sports exhaust system, good tyres etc. But it's kinda like a poor mans sports car. I wouldn't personally like to own one myself because there's much nicer cars for the money I'd rather have such as an S14 , Evo 4, 350z etc. And let's be honest they look a little like a girls sports car imo lol.
