I am new to the Porsche, the Club the forum and I am looking on advice on buying a facelift 986.

I am looking for a manual but have little preference between a 2.7 and 3.2.

I will be looking to purchase in the summer but am engaging early so that I can learn the ropes and to help pass the next 5 months, I am currently away working for Her Majesty.

My main questions are;

Where is best to buy, recommended specialists, club members or mainstream?
Apart from normal servicing what work should have already been done?
What should I pay for a well looked after example with sub 80k miles?
What preventative maintenance or repairs should I expect to do as I intend to keep the car for at least 3 years?
What work, if any can be carried out at home?

I will be splitting my time between the central belt of Scotland, the Wirral and Gloucestershire when I return to the UK so advise on purchasing or services in those areas is also greatly received.

All help and guidance much appreciated.

Andy

Morning

With all due respect to this forum, it is very slow on Boxster related info.

Sign up on www.boxa.net which is purely Boxster, very active and full of all the info you're looking for

:D
