Porsche Boxster FAQs

Porsche Boxster 1998: What to look for when buying?

You have to approach it as a car that’s more than 10 years old, one that will have normal mechanical wear and tear. Fortunately Porsche engines and gearboxes are durable and don’t unduly wear. Check for signs of a hard life; make sure the car you want to buy has been well maintained with regular servicing, and that things like brakes are not in need of immediate replacement. It’s a good idea to have a Porsche expert check it out for you.

Where can I fix my car keys?

Try Replacement Car Keys in East Brisbane, or Amalgamated Locksmiths in Newstead, or Auto Key Replacements in Brisbane.

Fun or practical new car?

Go for the Porsche. You want it, you’ve earned it, you deserve it.
