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.

...just the fact that it doesn't have AC would put me off - Italy's going to be scorching this time of year and you may not want the top down all the time. Also, for a 2.5 it seems a bit on the expensive side. Lastly, not sure about 18" wheels on a Boxster. Sorry about being so negative. Maybe hire a nice car for the three days in Italy and buy something when you get back and have more time to decide?
I agree. Must have air con so sorry, leave it! Andy Boxster 2.7
Don' buy a car without aircon. Travelling to Italy you will be doing a lot of high speed miles. That gets tiring roof off after eight hours or so. I'm not actually kidding. Aircon is a must. Also: 18" wheels were not approved by Porsche for the Boxster until recently. (Errrmmm 2001 I think.) I believe some adjustments were made to allow them - I have 18" wheels on my S (no handling probs there!) but I'd be a bit suspicious of them on such an early car. There ARE other cars out there....I'd skip this one.
We have a T reg Boxtser up for sale for £25k. Due to new S on order. Big spec (9k options) - [edited by Domster: see theboyg's ad for all the details - it looks like a good 'un from here ] >> Edited by domster (moderator) on Thursday 26th June 09:48

Cheers G. Good luck selling the car - if anyone is after a Boxster I'll tip them off. I think you'll enjoy the S - people rave about them. Rgds Domster
Have to agree with the previous comments. £25K seems a little high for a 98? S-plate car with no air con. The 18" wheels on such an early car could be an issue. For what it's worth, things to look out for when buying a 2.5 are: lux pack (air con, 17" wheels, OBC, windstop) and leather. The aerokit (a very personal styling choice) is not worth paying a premium for on a used car. Your budget should stretch to a decent low milage 99T 2.5 or an early 2.7. Good Luck
Then our 2.5 seems perfect :-) As it happens, we may not take the S when it arrives in a few weeks thinking of jumping over to a 911...have to work on the numbers first tho. G.
I'm about to buy a Boxster 2.5 tomorrow. S reg, 18,500 miles, Speed Yellow, soft leather interior. Upgrades include full Porsche aerokit, white lights throughout, 18" Grand Classic(?) wheels, Boxster S exhaust. Single CD but no a/c Car has been immaculately maintained (and I mean immaculately!), stored in humidity controlled garage, and comes with a full Porsche service history. Owner is looking for £25,000 - seems to be fair price from what I can tell, looking at Autotrader. Other cars at this price point either seem to have more miles, or no extras, and I know how this car has been maintained. Seem like a fair price (need to buy it, or something in the next 3 days, because I'm driving down to Italy). Cheers, CG
