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.

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

  • 986Forum: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 3Original post

1. Steering wheel is on the wrong side. 2. Check rear bumper and exhaust pipe. looks like repainted and not 100% in right position - maybe photo problem. 3. Steering wheel is not 1999, but nice upgrade 4. Non full leather interior looks always kind of cheap. Check if you like it. Regards, Markus

POST 4Original post

Hi Peter, Nice Boxster for the money & nice color, later headlights are a good (expensive) upgrade, if it's got a full service history I'd take a chance, any of the two Porsche specialist in B,Clare could check it out for you before the warranty expires. Take a test drive & it will put a smile on your face. P.S. Better hurry, the first snow has arrived here tonight.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys (I presume) appreciate your comments.Hoping to get to see soon.

POST 6Original post

I like the color and it looks to be in great shape, and the mileage and price are good. I would definitely consider a car like that! Take it for a ride and see what you think, it looks like it was well cared for.

POST 8Original post

Great looking, decent mileage with a service history. Just make sure you get a PPI, good luck with your purchase

The three spoke steering wheel was an option (opt 436) on the '99 model (my '99 has one). Nice looking car!
