2011 Porsche Boxster 987 Gen 2 - 987.2 (2.9l) The 2.9 engine is very reliable as IMS and bore score issues were engineered out. The 2.9 engine has around the same power as the previous Boxster S. The insurance, tax and running costs are much better on the 987 and I have a BMW 3 series as a daily driver, second car, so the Boxster was perfect as a weekend car. The front and rear trunk space is great for road trips. It's a real head turner on the road. As soon as I bought it, I took it to RPM Technik for a full pre-purchase inspection. This gave me an itemised list of any areas to address. Work I have carried out during ownership New Battery 4 x New Michelin Pilot Sport 4's 4 x refurbished / powder coated wheels New clutch fitted New front OEM Bilstein dampers and top mounts. New brembo drilled discs and pads all around Front coolant crossover pipes replaced (common issue on 997/987 no coolant leaks to worry about for a long time). This was more of preventative maintenance on my part. The car is mechanically sorted for years to come. I have addressed everything from the detailed RPM pre-purchase inspection. The car is categorised as CAT D/N (damaged repairable) The damage that occurred before my ownership was so minor that no panels were changed. Small repair on the front bumper underneath. No airbags deployed. I can share the RPM and car vertical reports. I'm happy to take the car to your mechanic for inspection Come out for a test drive. This generation of Porsche strikes a beautiful balance of enough modern creature comforts and all the engagement of a 6-speed manual.
