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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi.. It's been a while since I had a sports car but I am feeling the need again. Previously owned a TVR S and a Jaguar XK coupe and now I am considering a Boxster. We need a second car as we have a X1 M Sport as our daily car but work now requires me to do a lot more travel. The BMW can tick that box. My wife does a daily commute which totals about 25 miles and to be honest a fiesta Zetec just isn't getting anyone excited! Budget is up to £8000. I would like to get a feel for what I should be looking for, running cost, reliability, best place to insure etc. We live in Essex near Maldon and we are looking to buy in the next two weeks. Look forward to your thoughts.. Paul

POST 3Original post

Watching this with interest ,wife want to try a porsche and the boxster is the only one she likes and we can hopefully afford.But she wants the 987 version 2.7 on 8k budget !

POST 4Original post

I think to get a decent one which isnt going to cost you or have problems to spoil the experiance you will probably need 10k. Otherwise its going to be a lottery buying a high mileage car which may or nay not have been loved

POST 5Original post

I think that's a bit pessimistic. I paid less than 4k for mine and its never let me down or been out of action. I appreciate it might be a lottery when buying but good ones are out there for less than 8K.
