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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

How do you tell what level of trim a car has that you’re looking to buy? Is it a case of asking a seller or is there another way to know what level of trim and or extras a car has?

POST 2Original post

https://sites.google.com/site/mikefocke2/mikesporscheboxsterwebpages The information at this link may help. Starting in the 2000 model year, the 986 came in base and S variants. The major differences were the larger engine, 6 speed transmission, larger brakes and different suspension in the S. Other options were selected by buyer or dealer. There are no trim lines as in the Asian imports. I hope this helps.

Ahhh okay I did wonder and wasn’t sure. I sat in a friends Boxster S yesterday and it did not have electronic control to move the seat forward or reverse, it just had a mechanical lever you had to pull, whereas mine, a non-S has the electric control 🤷****♂️

There is a sticker under the front trunk lid that will have a series of codes that correspond to various options that will tell you what extras the car came with.

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