My co worker is looking at a used one. Thoughts around here?

I know lots of PSM problems (I used to hear about), but I don't follow P cars (aside from 911).

Sally (co worker) currently drives a Z3 and is selling it. Her budget is about 18K. She doesnt need a Boxter S, regular Boxter will do.

Maintenance issues? Other known issues?

Appreciate the help.

 

She is looking at these:

looks like a nice car. i would avoid the early one cuz it had the 2.5 liter engine and a lot of issues. I believe there is a class action law suit against porsche for the early ones.

i would highly suggest bump the budget up to 22k and get a 00 model with the 2.7 engine. It's more powerful and they are lot less problem. anytime you buy a 10 year old german car you will get a lot of repair bill coming along with it. it's just a lot of tear and wear over time more than failure.

hope your visit was good.

 

Yeah visit was great. Thanks for the help

She just upped the budget to 24K

Now debating between Z3M roadster vs Boxster

Thoughts?

i think she might be able to squeeze this one in if they are willing to deal a little bit. just some quick ones, i am sure upon looking you guys will find some nice ones. boxsters are a lot of fun.
