Sold 1999 986 DD/Beater Boxster $4500-5000

IMS?

 

Ill give you $3500 and a bottle of Tequila?

 

Seriously thinking about this. Tell you what, I'm going out tonight. If I have a shot of Tequila, I'll give you $5,000. If not, $4,500.

 

Looks like a lot of fun for 5k - you should consider getting the windshield fixed - covered under comprehensive insurance in SC - no deductible or penalty/hit to your rate..

 

Make the car $4,750 and you both turn up with a $250 bottle of tequila each.

At some point, you both decide to live in the car together as nomads going on cross-country DIY Porsche repair adventures the likes of which mere mortals cannot fathom. It'll be a marvelous journey between AutoZones and O'Reilly's... doorlocks and roof mechanism fuses... thus kicking off your new streaming show... called... um... AI suggests either "Porsche Trek" or "Two Guys, One Porsche". We're going to have to work on the name.

All the best,
Andrew

 

We could always do a cup car conversion....

2 guys 1 (Porsche) cup.

I'll seey way out.

 

I was thinking for something better, like Pueblo Viejo Blanco...

 

Mmm... any tariffs involved?

 

Since everybody has a podcast…Paupers’ Porsche Podcast with the Boxster Bros.

 

That hard top is worth probably half the asking price.

If I were closer, I would definitely consider this. My son is about a year and a half or so away from his license, so...it would be a fun first car!!

Just looked up directions. It's a 26 hour drive back. May need 2 bottles of tequila.

 

If I wasn't in the middle of moving I might buy it, fly in, and drive home for an epic roadtrip adventure to add to my list.

 

I have already traced a roadtrip route for my son and I if I were to buy it. He turns 16 in May and it would be a great gift for him [The car and road trip]. Thankfully I taught him to drive manual transmission vehicles. His only worry now is the the parts pricing in the future! LoL

 

That would be so cool to do with him. Would create lifetime memories for both of you.

 

Fortunately, Porsche continues to produce parts for every vehicle they've ever made. So he won't ever encounter a situation where the part is unobtainable... even if it does require a little wait while Porsche goes to get the molds out to reproduce a classic part.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

I don't think availability is the issue. It's the cost. And god forbid you have to take it to the dealer for any service. A couple minor repairs could easily surpass the asking price on this Boxster. Plenty of resources out there if you want to try to DIY though.

There is a saying that holds true... "there is nothing more expensive than a cheap Porsche"

 

I get what you're saying, but I've found that availability and cost are somewhat linked.

My rear differential seized on my "cheap" daily driver Ford Edge's AWD system. The MSRP for that part was $2100 but because Ford wasn't making any more of them my local dealer told me I was out of luck and it was on indefinite backorder. I ended up having to pay over twice the MSRP to get a North Carolina dealer to send me the one they had in stock because they were making a "market rate adjustment" on a part that they knew was in high demand and low availability. And that was just to get my hands on the part, fitting was yet more money.

A Porsche part is expensive, yes. But it's not as expensive as a Ford part when you have to get gouged by an ******* dealer over an out of production part that your car is undrivable without.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Interesting. My first 911 dealership visit was $16k and it was 100% covered by the extended warranty company. They sent an adjuster but the dealership (Porsche Plano, TX) was awesome with him. Sounds like you need a new dealership!
