So I swap it out for the Bilstein B12 kit. But I never tried Ohlins, I heard they are the best coils available for NCs. If I can find a 987.2 or 981 within my budget, I would look at them too. Just trying hard not to cross the 50 k budget, and I need to set aside budget to change the head unit to one with CarPlay. The picking isn’t that great from what I can see on Carsales. Yeh, it's a tough time to be buying a car with limited stock available. If you can be patient I think that would be the best thing to do, stock will come back and 987.2 prices will be back where they were soon enough especially with 981 prices sliding down. Worth the wait. Carplay was an important thing for me too and I had a Pioneer unit installed not long after purchasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as a rough gauge on how much I should be looking to set aside for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, it's never gonna be a mint car but the guy said in the post he was keen to get rid of it and is only in it for 12k. Given the previous owner did IMS, Control arms, starter etc.. not long before this guy got it I thought it might be a good track car or beater for someone. edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 2December, 2020 Report Share Posted 2December, 2020 I should think if the provenance is in order and its just minor hail, $5-10k ball park for a running, rego, mechanically sorted boxster is sound buying...that is where I'd be comfortable! Leaves you some money for paint work, if there PDR was only $2k like he said and it would come up mint, he should do it... a good sorted 2.5 Boxster is still a $20k+ car if its nice, I should know since I sold one similar a few months ago. 😜 firstone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregDash Posted 7December, 2020 Report Share Posted 7December, 2020 Does anyone know anything about the history of this one, or spoken to the owner? Low 20s for a manual s with a hardtop sounds potentially pretty good, but almost 0 details in the ad and the (lack of) quality of the interior photos makes me doubt it's decent. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2000-porsche-boxster-s-986-manual-my00/SSE-AD-6844719 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could ask on here, if anyone could have a look for you, keeping in mind it would only be a look. (obviously a PPI if you decide to go further) I'm sure if anyone is able to, they will check it out for you, but do all your enquiries first. Looks half reasonable.

GregDash Posted 8December, 2020 Report Share Posted 8December, 2020 That is legitimately a lot easier to see, nice work. Still looks pretty tidy too, I am getting ahead of myself though... Still a little while away from being ready to buy, and about 1000km north so I can't just go bother the guy too easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black is impossible to keep clean as a daily (if you're not retired) & silver is as common as dogs balls (though the right one would do). As Michel pointed out maybe I am being fussy. Have thought about buying a car regardless of colour & wrapping it. Niko and Fishcop 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
