Hello folks..,

As a new member to the 987-1 series forum i have to ask a question....,

I sold my 1999 Boxster to a friend and my question is...

I would like to know if the 2005 and up Boxster are more reliable the old 986 1999 Boxster regarding the engine (RMS IMS) and the car in general

Thanks

Robert

There is a really good piece on this IMS subject in the latest issue of Excellence magazine. With Part 2 coming next. Later 986 were better, sometime in MY05 (IIRC) they got even better. Newest design said to be best, but not replaceable w/o teardown of engine.

Buy the mag! You'll thank me.

welcomeani.gif Welcome!.

I also had a 1999 986 and just bought a 2005 987 about 3 months ago. The two cars are both incredible but the 2005 is a much better driver and so far just as reliable as my 99. I never really had that many problems to begin with. The RMS on the 2005 (m96) engine were a little problamatic (per this forum) but was improved with the 2006 model year. Mine had an engine replacment with a 2006. Lots of good info here to give you more specifics...
