This is a boxer, right?
Wasn't it Clarkson who ignited the flame of hate? The porsche for people who couldn't afford a real porsche?
Just have fun. Drive what you like. A cabrio is always a delight.
Yeah this is the first gen Boxster.
They are nice to drive, handle great, and are even decent to work on, if you have a lift to get underneath, since that’s where most of the service items are accessed.
The problem is that they had an un-oiled bearing supporting an intermediate counter shaft that can(will) fail and often kills the motor (also a problem on the IMS bearing of similar aged 911s). If it’s had the bearing replaced, and especially if it’s been upgraded with a solution to oil it, it’s usually a great deal too.
