Everyone says you shouldn't buy a high mileage Porsche because they're bad news. I bought the cheapest, highest mileage Porsche Boxster 987 i could find, with almost a quarter of a million miles on it to see how bad it could actually be..

As the original owner of a 2007 Cayman S, I can attest to the longevity and surprising stamina of these cars! It is both beautiful and fairly priced, and at 153,400 miles, it is staggeringly reliable! Short of two water pumps, I’ve not had any major issues with the car. It’s fast enough, but it’s the handling that inspires awe. Thanks for your video! It gives me hope that we might have another 100k miles together...I love my car!
@CarTrouble

My 2005 987S has 160,000 miles on it now. It's been good to me since I got it new. Certainly lately, there's plenty of parts that I'm replacing (the clutch finally went around 150,000 miles, PASM and a new steering rack in 2018, just had to replace the top transmission, etc.) as they are starting to wear, but no engine troubles, and I'm still on the original IMS. Will be good to see how long it holds up.

That’s one smart car you’ve got there. My BMW E46 has done 224,000 miles and providing they are well looked after good quality cars can stand the mileage and make excellent buys. Plus you don’t have to worry about adding more miles on if it was newer, lower miles and accelerating depreciation. Enjoy! 👍

I have an almost identical model to this; same year, colour and engine with nearly 92k on the clock. I’d agree with everything. I drive sensibly, but all the fun of the fair is there when you want it. Maintenance at a Porsche specialist (not dealer) doesn’t break the bank and is every 2 years or 20k miles. I’ve only had to replace tyres once in the 50k miles I’ve added. Only issue I’ve had was when water got in because of a blocked drain and blew the electronic management which sits under the passenger seat, so make sure you clear those drainage channels.

HaHa, we bought a 2005 997 for just shy of 18k with 75k on the clock. It was a Cat D but with a perfect repair and pre accident damage photos. We drove that car for 5 years, spent nothing on it and sold it for 17.5k, now that's what I call cheap exotic motoring. Everyone (and I mean everyone) asked about the scored bore problem and the IMS bearing. We just dropped the oil out of it every 5k miles and like your Boxster, I suspect it could epic mileage. The funny thing is, our neighbours thought we were rich belting out of the drive in a glorious 911 but the truth is I think they paid more for their average modern motors, they certainly lost a whole heap of money in depreciation etc. I subscribed to your channel today because I like the content and presentation - just wish there was more of it :-)

Car Trouble ...well I swapped it out for a 997 which was the current model back in 2006. Now I do still miss that and it was a benchmark for all other “daily drivers” ever since. I started with a 993 back in 1997 and whilst I get “being the last air cooled” classic status and it’s super packaging (the 991/992 are massive now 🤷🏻‍♂️), I also have to admit that the 981 Boxster was just as good and a better drive... 🤔

Bought mine brand new in 2005 for $45k instead of a used 87 930 turbo for 27k. Your video helps me feel a bit better for losing 100k plus. Thank you.

Hi Roland, don't think about the 930. At least you have a 987 to drive around in. You could've spent $45k on a Sedan. Then you'd fell really bad. Thanks for wathching! 👍

£700 for a new battery?!?! No wonder they serviced it for free! Glad to hear it running well now..

I have one of those. I will never sell it. They are a ton fun easy to repair and parts are not much more expensive than any other car. The only thing is that they wear a lot of brake pads and tires, but that also depends on how you drive. Top video.

Thanks Marvin, it was cheap because I think people were scared of the mileage. Instant IMS bearing failure bill, or engine failure or something. or some reason folks are scared of mileage, I'm hoping to show people there's no need to be scared. A 50 k mile car can be worse than a 180k car. I'd love to hang on to it, just to see what happens... Thanks for watching ! 👍

Great vid, very enjoyable. Got a great deal, at that price they are usually non runners or crash repairs or engine blown. I thought I got a good deal when I got my cayman 987 2008 with only 57k miles in mint condition for less than £10,500. Love the 987 generation so old school feel to it.
@CarTrouble

Car Trouble I know a common issue is the air oil separator, I’m sure you could a vid on checking if it is ok and if not replacing it. Also linked is smoke at cold start when it is fine to expect it and when it gives a indication of something more serious. Anyway I think you will have a lot content on your channel to cover regarding the boxster. Most of I’m I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you found a diamond of a car

I would suggest with todays prices the 987.2 is a slightly better choice if only for the updated PSM and as others have said with the PASM option. That said I would rather just jump to the 981 and the S model with the Porsche Sports exhaust and sports mode PASM and also the Chrono pack as a bare minimum of options.

I did the same an 07 2.7 about 1 year ago! The brakes were shot, new pads/disks & calliper refurb! The suspension total shot new mounts/bushes/arms/drop links all around. Various fixes to interior. Starting problem led to new starter motor/battery. The Positive battery terminal is prone to failure and needed changing - not cheap! The exhausts on these things are mighty expensive and getting them off is a pain as they rot badly. Pray the drive shafts don't need replacing on the 2.7 they are ridiculously expensive! and the list goes on..... Still want one?? Unbelievable road holding, great sound, top down and I love it - but where did all my money go.....
