Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So after 110,000 miles, the transmission gave up the ghost on my 2003 Boxster S. Any advice on where to get the best price on a replacement. I have a trusted shop, and they may be able to get it cheaper than I can, but figured I would ask here.

CMS in Arizona has had some positive reviews on this forum for transmission rebuilds and repairs, if you're thinking of fixing yours. https://californiamotorsports.net/

POST 6Original post

There's a guy in Ohio that's turned parting out boxsters into a little side business. I've seen him on some of the facebook porsche groups but not on here surprisingly. Sorry I don't remember his name. I believe he just bought a wrecked low mile 6 speed boxster and is parting it out

POST 7Original post

Zeke Fultz is the Facebook guy in Ohio. He has a 65,000 mile Boxster S he is parting out, he has a post about it in the Porsche 986&996 buy/sell/trade group. I don't know him and haven't bought anything from him but his prices look reasonable on what I've seen him selling. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1610963219178885/permalink/2973511849590675/?sale_post_id=2973511849590675

Mike, this is great list! Parts Heaven has unfortunately been gone for a while. May want to update that one.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
