Is an old Boxster worth it?
There are no bad generations of the Porsche Boxster and which one is right for you depends on a few things. If you’re looking for a low purchase price and you’re willing to pay high maintenance costs, then the first two generations of the Boxster offer the best value.
Which is cheaper Cayman or Boxster?
The Boxster comes in at a slightly higher starting price but also provides that unprecedented thrill of driving a convertible. However, being slightly cheaper and matching the driving performance of the Boxster, it is clear to see why it would be worth considering the Cayman as well for your next car.
How long will a Porsche Boxster engine last?
Given that a typical Porsche owner will drive their car about 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year, this means you can expect your Porsche to last a good 15 to 25 years if you never miss a scheduled servicing visit. This is an impressive lifespan for such a complex piece of machinery with such an incredibly powerful engine.
What is the biggest problem with the Porsche Boxster?
These years of Boxsters have a notorious reputation for IMS-bearing failure. It’s important to understand that failure of the IMS bearing can cause catastrophic engine damage. In older Boxsters, a new engine can cost as much as the car is worth. So much so that engine replacement is a common remedy in these situations.
