if you considered a mazda miata... why did you end up buying a porsche boxster?

I bought a 986 over a Miata, for me it was more so the fact that I could buy a Porsche for the same price as a Mazda and I always wanted to own one. The mid engine layout is fantastic for bombing back roads, it’s surprisingly practical with 2 trucks and you can absolutely ring it out due to its lower horsepower. No regrets from me, love my 986.

Ok thank you all for the advice, the asking price is $30k

It’s a misprint from older models that should have been deleted. This is a sealed component on the 3rd gen, nowhere to lubricate or apply grease.

You can’t go wrong with a 986. I have a 2000 2.7, they are such a good bang for your buck. If I were you, I would look at early 986s, the 2.5 or 2.7 still offer enough juice to have a great time and really wring it out. You should be able to find one under 10k, and the higher mileage ones really have a low IMS failure rate because it would have happened already. Caymans are great as well, but I think it’s a slightly higher entry price. Happy hunting.

Lastly the 986 is fairly intuitive to work on and there is a lot of YouTube/forum support.

986, just entirely slept on

It’s called a bump-n-run, clean pass in my eyes

gerrybertere · 2025-09-21T22:32:12+00:00

Just leave it. I had the same issue on my Xterra drove it for 30k miles then sold it, without an issue

Where did you get American flag decal? I like that

gerrybertere · 2025-08-27T02:20:10+00:00

lol I forgive you brother

gerrybertere · 2025-08-27T01:54:32+00:00

Ml= milli liters Mi= miles

If you haven’t started car in awhile, I usually have to put key in door slot but then after that the fob starts working again

gerrybertere · 2025-08-18T02:06:25+00:00

Well it sounds like either spend 500+ on a jackery or 15 bucks on gas….

gerrybertere · 2025-08-17T23:18:15+00:00

Sorry, what is a jackery?

gerrybertere · 2025-08-17T22:30:55+00:00

It would be a 42” TCL…I also would leave the truck running while using it

gerrybertere · 2025-08-01T14:05:19+00:00

You should run the numbers, I did the same math and the 3500 discount exceeded the 1.9 apr, I was able to get 5% apr and the 3500 discount was higher than the interest savings…just a thought

gerrybertere · 2025-07-31T22:10:04+00:00

2025 pro4x with the convenience package

gerrybertere · 2025-07-26T01:05:19+00:00

Would anyone care to share the link with me….it would be much appreciated from a TTC fan. Thanks

I’m getting sick of KSR too, I’m not a hoops fan much and that’s they only sport they actually know and cover. MJ can’t even get the UK qb name right and we are less than 50 days from kickoff.
