A $5 bill......."really" PS, I voted DID YOUby dak911 - Main Forum
"WE" decided that "I" can have "MY OWN CAR" "SHE" has her own, so there.....best part is that since she probably will never drive it, (5 speed) the seat, mirrors and radio stations will always have "my " settings... I love it...right now it is in my neighbors garage as they are only here from October to March....but, because of the high tides (if you are not a South Floridian you won't understandby dak911 - Main Forum
Hey guys The guy who I bought the car from is about 5' 6'' tall, I think he had the seat tracks moved forward(?) When I move the seat all the way back there there is still about 8" behind the seat....IIRC my 00 and 02 were against the bulkhead....I'll have to have look at that tomorrow in the daylight...any clues?by dak911 - Main Forum
OK,my new to me Boxster came from Canada...the manuals are all in FRENCH.....unfortunately I don't read FRENCH....anyone want to trade for an ENGLISH SET?by dak911 - Main Forum
Thanks Gary, I don't want to say on the board, but just think wholesale.....and if this isn't the "cleanest" 07 around I'd be surprised (In December the PO paid Champion $5900 for new 18" Michelin Sport 2's a battery, front brakes a 60K service at 24,000 miles) I just look, make my offers and .......... Maybe meet for lunch one day soon....by dak911 - Main Forum
Hi all, Back in the Boxster clan. Third Boxster... I just bought an 07 Base 5 speed. 18" wheels, This car looks like a brand new 2007, I doubt that it was ever out overnight! Car is Basalt Black Metallic/Tan 24,000 miles original owner....all service records. I'll post some pix when I can figure out how from the Chromebook.... Danielby dak911 - Main Forum
Since the owner went to Montreal 1 1/2 hours after I saw the car, and we had a little more back and forth re $$ by email, I can only hope that he will keep the deal going, he is going to email me a contract. If not, oh well, more cars to see.......by dak911 - Main Forum
IT'S MINE! You know when you go to look at a car and the owner opens the garage and EVERYTHING is in place and NEAT, you kinda' get the feeling that this car will not even have to be test driven Basalt Black metallic/ Tan, 18" "S" wheels, PPA package, whatever that is and a Sport Steering wheel.....23,000 miles !! I'll have it as soon as the owner gets back into town, next week sometime. Serviceby dak911 - Main Forum
Keeping my fingers crossed on one I saw yesterday....offer made, owner had a flight out right after I saw the car 2007 Base, Manual, 25,000 miles, original owner, new Michelins, Brakes, service records, This car looks as if it never spent a night out of the garage! I hope to get an answer today and then I'll get further into it on info.....I do not want to jinx the deal.. Danielby dak911 - Main Forum
What is a new top going for these days on an 05? AND, it seems that THE BOSS has decided that she likes "her" car and probably would not be driving the Boxster, so a MANUAL is not out of the question , opens a whole new field. Also when is the IMS change to the "better" bearing 06? Is there a cutoff date? So many cars for sale, I've seen some nice ones and some cars that to call them a dog wouby dak911 - Main Forum
After a few years out of BOXSTER ownership, it's time to find one I need some CONSTRUCTIVE answers... I am looking to spend $10K, plus maybe a bit depending I have owned a 2000 S and an 02 Base (manuals)....

OK, I've started to look for another BOXSTER, after 2 Boxsters, a 997, and 2 Z3's, I want another BOXSTER must be automatic (gulp)and 05 to ?? What is the last year of the old body style... Danielby dak911 - Main Forum
I went to eyeball the 09 Boxster (listed as an automatic) at MERCEDES BENZ OF COCONUT CREEK. These idiots don't know the difference between AUTOMATIC and Manual, PDK, don't even ask... Well at least the WALMART had some "cheap" 9mm, I always go into every WALMART I pass for it...by dak911 - Main Forum
Quotegedwin I believe base engines in the 987.2 had IMS and no DI, 987.2S had the 9A1 engine/no IMS. The 981 engines are all 9A1/no IMS. I thought that starting with my 09 ALL engines were NO IMS.??by dak911 - Main Forum
Oh, Gary, Gary, Gary.....thanks....actually trying to convince the boss that we REALLY need to get back into the P car family now that the 997 is gone....by dak911 - Main Forum

Looking to spend no more than say $22k....Unfortunately (!) must be automatic....so, PDK starts with 09 I think, and the 09 has done away with the IMS? What do you think?

Friend of mine just picked up a new 5 series BMW with that system...at first it is a littke un-nerving, but after riding in it a few times you don't even realise it is happening.... the engine also restarts itself if you are waiting a bit to keep the a/c cooling The other feature on the 530 is that it now has a 4 cylinder turbo....and there seems to be no difference in power that I have noticed..by dak911 - Main Forum
We're home and had a really great time. A really big thank you to Karl, Nell, Ron and Mary and to everyone who was involved in this HUGE effort Thanks to all Daniel and Priscilla.....(looking froward to next year, hopefully no storms)by dak911 - Blue Ridge Boxster Summit (BRBS)
