By the same token stay away from the first model year.

I like my 2012 987 Next Gen better than my 2008 987, both are the last year of the model. *NM* Jeff (Philly) - Thursday, 15 December, 2011, at 5:44:48 pm |

Did the 987 change in 2009?
I'm wondering about small changes between the years?
Is it worth getting an older S vs. a newer non-S?
Thanks.
Nothing specific but Pedro's suggestion to buy the newest one you can find/afford... MarcW - Friday, 16 December, 2011, at 7:59:12 am |

Boy, how times have changed. I can remember getting flamed regularly on here and on PPBB when I said that, based on owner reports from various forums, it appeared that there was a significant problem with IMS in Boxsters, including the Gen I 987s. It sure is interesting that, except for one very mild suggestion about an '08, no one has recommended a Gen I 987 to this guy. Why not? The naysayers and Kool-Aid drinkers all insisted that the IMS problem was miniscule and that Porsche could no no wrong. Now, people are essentially telling the original poster to stay a million miles away from the '05-'07 models, even though they seem to offer pretty good value right now. Guess I was (am) right after all.

Well, maybe it's in the eye of the beholder. All I know is that I'm seeing Pedro telling the OP to stay away from the '05, I'm reading kind of a tepid recommendation for the '08 and not the earlier Gen I years, and I'm seeing endorsements for the Gen II cars, with (lo and behold) IMS failures cited as a reason to stick with the newer cars. That seems to be about it.
Curiously, though, you're also suggesting he stay away from the '09. If Porsche engineering is that good and the chance of a defect so low or non-existent, why wouldn't you recommend he buy one from that year?
