Was I a fool to buy this car?


Recommended Posts

I lost my 3.4 engineand replaced it with a 3.6. Financially it hurt and I was mad. But I'm over it (even my wife is over it :rolleyes: ) and I love my car. I know that my failure was in the minority. Just bad luck. With the new engine I will be even more diligent with maintenance especially more frequest oil changes.

I can't imagine owning another sports car other than a Porsche. Especially used. For the money nothing comes close IMHO...

I did not do much research but having worked on Porsches when I was younger, I knew that it wouldn't be cheap if I didn't do the work myself. Depending on what may go wrong, if anything, I mqy to have it repaired, but I will obsess over it. And also anyone that thinks repair a VW is cheap, has never had one or if they did haven't had a problem yet. I had to replace a window motor on a Cadillac DTS and it cost about $100 less than one for a new model Beetlle. My friehds VR6 motor costs more to repair than my Boxster's motor.

If you read all of the previously made comments you know I was trying to point out that a Boxster is not as expensive as some other cars that are considered to be inexpensive. The person that started the topic got a bashing and I feel that everyone should have been more cordial as well as welcoming him as a fellow owner. PS I am typing this on a pocket pc, so please forgive any errors.

Got it...I live on the pocket PC (Blackberry) so I understand. Appreciate the clarification and I agree with you.

All the best,
