Was I a fool to buy this car?
triguy46 replied to triguy46's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
VWs don't usually cost $15k to repair if a seal lets go, though... No, not selling it. I bought it with eyes wide open and money put away with forethought and resolution that this is worth keeping. Thanks. The Miata was fun, but this is a car. -

Actually just the opposite, I do have some technical abilities and am not unfamiliar with high performance vehicles and some pretty big tractors, but do not see this car as a DIYer for me. Thanks for the confirmation of what i hope are the exceptions and not the rule, because I've waited 30 years to own a Porsche and I'm not disappointed. -
Sorry, but I need to know: I've had my 2003 for 2 months, 37000 miles and is spotless. Runs great, looks great, Porsche serviced with no documented probs. I"m 2nd owner. So I come here daily and read the terrifying stories of dropped valves, cracked blocks, astronomic service etc and I am wondering if I shouldn't just dump it and buy back my Miata. Is it because people primarily post problems here? Or is it because this thing is going to break?

that is what I have wondered. I think I will wait till spring to decide whether to do this.

Are there clips on the windscreen or just those mounted on the rollbar? I can't visualize how the windscreen attaches.

My 2003 boxster did not come with the rear windscreen. Am looking at adding this. A few simple questions: Are there brackets that hold it in place? If so, how are they attached to the rollbar? Am I wrong to think that this will be a simple project? Thanks

If you go to: http://s192.photobucket.com/albums/z231/tr...nt=100_0309.flv you will see the decal I added to my spoiler. We spent Christmas day driving up and down the highway so others in a "chase" vehicle could see the fun :P

To trickle or not to trickle...
triguy46 replied to triguy46's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thanks to all for the sound advice. -
I've had my 2003 Boxster for 3 weeks and we're getting ready for a winter blast. It is not forecast to be above freezing for 4 days. The battery is 2 years old, non-porsche, 72 month. I have a small, 1 amp trickle charger. Am I being overly worrisome for considering using it?
