  1. Cbracer, have you looked at the Porsche web site here?: http://www.porsche.com/usa/pre-owned-vehicles/search/ For example, they show 107 cars (all 997's all models) with less than 20,000 miles and Navigation. The price range is $85,500-$64,900. This is at least one place to start your research.
  2. Lemon, he's not such an idiot, he just knows how much they are worth. Sorry you did not get them for $3K. Though, $6.5K is still less than $8.2K.
  3. Baconaire, you will need the tool. And it is a good idea to replace the RMS when doing the clutch. Good decision. Possibly an indy shop will "rent" the tool to you.
  4. Berty987, was it covered under warranty?
  5. I doubt it, Berty987. Maybe just a lower occurance rate.
  6. Lemon, how much will the yard charge you for the parts? Good find! :)
  7. I've seen that one already but it refers to the 986. Anyone have this type of experience with the 987? Now I am becoming more concerned with the late clutch engagement. Thanks Take it back to the dealership where you made the purchase. I think there is an adjustment that can be done to the catch-point.
  8. Atld, there is some good info here: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...8&hl=clutch
  9. My 987S grabs right away, Certainly well before 1/2 way. I have just over 17,000 miles. There was a recent Thread about life-span, so do a search, and you will see some good info.
  10. Doesn't this come with some of our tool-kits? Is this in the 987 Boxster? Thanks. I have a 986 S (2002) which I purchased this year and it did not have this. If it came with the car's tool kit the original owner took it with him. I can see why. I found one here: http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/merchant...y_Code=POTEBXWH
  11. Here is another link: http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/merchant..._Code=986Wheels
  12. I also think a common problem with aftermarket rotors are that the hats rust. This is not a problem with OEM. Just something to consider.

  14. Yes, to being a daily driver. Yes, rear tires can last 8-10K miles, they can also go longer or wear out sooner depending on your driving style, set-up, alienment, and any events such as DE's and AutoX's. Yes, if you can work on your Mercedes, you can work on your Porsche, especially with the assistance of this Forum. Become a Contributing Memeber, and you will get additional access. Yes, our cars are very safe. Great construction, materials, brakes and technology.
  15. Are you still under a warranty? If yes, let the dealership fix. If not, a good contact cement will be your best friend.
  16. ex86er, how long has it been doing this? Recently? This is pretty common with the boxer engine. And normal to get a puff of smoke on start-up. But a lot of smoke could mean the AOS needs replacement. Better to do sooner than latter because your MAF could get messed up too.
  17. How many rages does the 996 have? By comparison, the 987 has 6 (six) ranges. Thanks.
  18. Thought about doing the AOS, but wanting to wait until a few months down the road. Just changed the oil and don't really feel like dropping the oil pan just yet. Is this something that definately will go bad and is just a matter of time? Or have some folks never had a problem? The AOS is a pretty common repair, from what I have seen.
  19. Doesn't this come with some of our tool-kits? Is this in the 987 Boxster? Thanks.
