WHY YOU SHOULD BUY A PORSCHE BOXSTER 987 GEN 2! 

Nice to know 😊. They are genuinely the perfect sports cars

Thanks for the love from the 🇺🇸. Hope you are well 😊👍

Thank you for the kind comment mate

Noted for the future. We now know 😊. I do agree that it’s an improvement over the base 987.1.

2.9 and 3.4 haven't IMS, so good😉

@@BEN-bw8cf massive improvement and extremely reliable Cayman's

Have the Base 987.2 2009 Boxster 6speed MT since new. Correct Jonathan, Base has no DFI-therefore no bore scoring as reported in the 3.4L S version. Base 2.9L is the best engine & most reliable. Have 136000 kms. Only major repairs, clutch cables @ 96000 kms, and replaced brake lines @ 135000 kms due to early corrosion (I also drive it on clean salt free days in winter which explains the corrosion). Other than that, annual oil changes (or 12000 kms), brake fluid flush each 2 yrs, cabin filter, blow out radiator grills & drains. Spark plugs @ 60000kms or 4yrs. Better to change them then than to have difficulty removing them and stripping the threads in the aluminum block. Still on original coils- redesign of coil packs in 2009 allows easy inspection for cracks on spark plug change interval. If any one is cracked, change all six. Mine are still fine surprisingly! Battery replacement at 5 yrs. Almost as reliable as my 4Runner, and that is saying something! Cheers.

Old fashioned port injection in the 2.9 instead of the 3.4's newfangled DFI may sound like a downgrade, until you realise that the intake valves of early DFI engines (of all makes) eventually get caked with oily soot. A good squirt of petrol over the back of the intake valves in the 2.9 keeps the engine nice.

Agreed 👍

Glad you guys enjoyed the video

I have a 987.2 these car have the sort after hydraulic steering hence the weight, I was surprised when I first drove mine compared to my BMW electric steering! The 987 steering is a gem!

Thank you Kang. What do you drive?

Definitely and very fun indeed 👍

Lol definitely without a shred of doubt. They handle superbly 😊

I think he did 😉

@@invictusporsche hmmm 🤔 I thought that's what he said... 🤣

@@arr0gant1 😂 we are work in progress 😊

Unfortunately not everyone is gifted with English being their mother tongue. Our colleague Tem speaks 4 languages and English is his fifth. There is always room for improvement. Thanks 😊

@@invictusporsche Don't get me wrong. I like your video, I gave it thumb up! I am bilingual myself ( polish / english ). It is just something about Porsche ❤️ when people prenouce it a wrong way. I love Boxster!

I respect your view and completely understand you. Thanks for sharing your perspective and it’s been productive 👍. Respect and ❤️

Disagree strongly have had my 2012 Boxster S for 3 years and not a single issue. In fact my Subaru costs more to maintain

@Richard S don’t need to. Just read the reviews and repair forums. Thought about buying one then read the horror stories. That’s why boxsters don’t hold their value. They are poorly designed cars which was proved in court they lost a class action lawsuit a few years back and Porsche had to pay hundred of millions of dollars to customers. If you can get one for cheap with the ims bearing fixed Snd engine seals fixed then maybe it be worth picking one of these up for a few grand. But you have to go in knowing your buying junk

@Richard S Yep from 2009 onwards the 9A1 corrected every previous from 96-2008 M96/97 faults inc the IMS .

Second owner of a 2009 Boxster here. I've had mine for 3 years, and am happy to say the car has been very reliable and trouble free. I did my homework before buying, and made a deliberate decision to avoid water cooled Porsches made before 2009. Every car maker has its share of heroes and dogs, and Porsche is no exception. What makes Porsche a bit different is that they cost a fair bit more than other cars, so buyer expectations are raised accordingly. The advice offered on this video is largely correct.

So Bitcoin is not junk lol
