[quote][i]Originally posted by John[/i] Original Boxster is 986, facelift around 2003 with some small changes. Would ignore the non S. IMS bearing is the big problem on them, happened to Ed, Mine was fine when I had it, can't tell if it's failing without taking the gearbox and flywheel off. Rest of it is pretty easy to work on, get at everything from below. Interior pretty dated now. I liked mine, would have a 987/981 no problem. They are at the sort of price range now that any idiot can buy them and will get more difficult to get a good one. No traction control (was a very rare option), loads of torque, amazing noise, RWD, not much to dislike. 987 is the next shape up and when the Cayman came out. Different engines which I don't know too much about. Much more modern interiors but apparently not as raw to drive as the previous version, I think a better buy than an older one compared to the other cars you're looking at. Although I love how the Cayman looks, unless you need that extra bit of stiffness, or really dislike the Boxtser, can't beat the noise with the roof down. As for the 996's, unless it's a turbo, I'd probably stay away. They are the least desirable model and unless you've paid the lower end for it, I think they'll probably depreciate further. Engines have even more problems than the Boxster. Turbo is a different kettle of fish. [/quote]
