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

Today is a great day! After a few weeks of pondering a couple of test drives the 996 is in the bag. Thanks to Richard and everyone else for the buying tips etc but the Boxster 2.5 1997 is dead long live the 2001 Tip finished in Lapis Blue with sand hide. Had lots of fun today going up and down the gear box! 70k young and tight as a button it passed the pre purchased inspection with flying colours, everything works. It's beena long journey starting with a 1978 S reg 924 horror story with 17 owners, living with 2 994's, one Pre SC 911, touching a 924 but the 996 has come home! God bless

POST 4Original post

Hey Adrian, Congratulations!! I also made the move last year from a 2.5 Boxster to a 996....what a huge difference...still can't get used to it! Enjoy[ ]

POST 5Original post

Adrian I went from a 2.7 Boxster to a 996 C4 cab. Have not regretted it. Enjoy, and many happy and safe miles [ ]

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

250 great miles so far! For all those who made the move from a Boxster it is surprising that the car feels so much bigger but it is about the same size. When I told my other half I was trading in the Boxster she asked what for and I said somthing more practical with four seats and a proper roof!
