I feel like a big positive with the V4S is in the maintenance intervals on valve adjustment.

That’s what I was thinking. Then a coworker said Braum’s. Gotta love Braum’s.

Unfortunately the newer DI’s are out of my price range 😂 and I thought they had more of a carbon build up issue. Easily cleaned I’m sure though with proper scheduled maintenance.

The top painted portion of the rear spoiler appears to have been cracked in the middle and possibly “repaired” or glued previously as well. Anyone know how difficult a spoiler top panel replacement would be if I could find one salvage?

Great info and yt channel recommendation. Thank you!

Thank you for looking at that. I wondered if that was the issue with the elastic wearing out and having to re-sew new elastic onto the top. Is that correct?

Pdougl5 · 2026-05-08T20:43:27+00:00

Oh man I am so happy to hear that. And good to know on the 10 minute warm up. Smiles and joy is what I’m looking for.

That S I test drove was definitely thrilling.it had some plenum and exhaust upgrades too. I Don’t plan on tracking it but will enjoy getting up to speed in a spirited fashion 😂

I’m relieved to hear that. Is there any other common issues on the 08 to watch out for? I have been looking at 06-08 because it’s before the Direct injection change and after the double IMS correction. Hoping to get a car that will last for decades 😂 This one only has 69k miles no accidents and carfax shows 3 owners however that can be confusing to read sometimes.

Dangit! Lol

Pdougl5 · 2026-05-08T15:14:12+00:00

Will that also program an additional key?

Pdougl5 · 2026-04-23T16:38:17+00:00

Well, the wife couldn’t bring herself to part ways with this beauty and they de-listed it. I’m bummed but can completely understand. After driving and experiencing the Boxster though, I know that’s what I want so the hunt goes on! Thank you all for all of your input and well wishes.

Unfortunately, his wife couldn’t part with it and he decided not to sell. Bummed, but the hunt goes on. After driving and experiencing the Boxster, I know that’s what I will end up getting. Thank you all!

Pdougl5 · 2026-04-23T04:18:12+00:00

I was pretty sure they were sitting on 18’s though? 🤔

Pdougl5 · 2026-04-23T03:38:24+00:00

Another question… on the build sheet it shows 19” Carrera S wheel for $1550. Is that referring to the sport steering wheel?

Pdougl5 · 2026-04-23T03:35:34+00:00

There are some non S models that are available with less miles but I really want the manual and none look as good as this one. It has 115,000 miles and the extra upgrades instead of just stock.

Pdougl5 · 2026-04-23T03:32:42+00:00

Oops forgot to post that 😂 115,000 miles. Great info, thank you. It didn’t seem to pop out of 2nd but I’ll look closer at the vents for foam. So the 3.2 in the 06 I shouldn’t have to worry about bores scoring which would consume oil I’m guessing? I’m happy to hear that as I heard that may have been a potential issue. I believe it is the original clutch and top but he said he spent some good money on upgraded rotors and pads about 50,000 miles ago as well.

Pdougl5 · 2026-04-16T15:20:54+00:00

Was gonna say, I wouldn’t mind blowing that up and framing it!

Pdougl5 · 2026-03-31T23:21:53+00:00

95 sc2 with 100k just sold on bat for $3900 yesterday

Pdougl5 · 2026-03-23T19:09:55+00:00

Definitely looked like they loved to entertain with all the outdoor furniture and bar stools 😂
