A charming, elegant and erudite presentation. As a fellow model owner, you reveal a real appreciation for what the 986 has to offer - thank you.

Thank you so much for the compliment! Glad you enjoyed the video. It’s a great car and as I’m sure you’ve experienced, it’s so much fun to drive!

I've owned my 2001 Boxster for 10 years now and it's actually been quite reliable and cheap to own. Other than regular maintenance it's only required an ignition cylinder replacement and a water pump (which is really a maintenance item as well). That is a nice colour combo I haven't often seen!

@AttainableLuxury-vv2xq 7 ай бұрын

That’s great to know it’s been reliable. Hoping the same thing with mine. Appreciate the support!

You will definitely want to do the Boxster chop when you lower that plastic window, to avoid further cracks.

For sure! Thank you for the advice.

Owned a 2002 Boxster (80,000 m), bought used for $10K. 2 years later it was on its last wheel so I bought a 2008 Boxster RS 60. Love it more than the day I bought it. Great choice!

You don't need all the bells and whistles when you have the naturally aspirated legendary flat six boxer engine behind you. Just a pity about those bumper things you have next to the number plate, thankfully we don't have them in Europe. Timeless classic.

I used to own an Orient Red Metallic Boxster. The color looked great in the sun showing off the metal flake. It also had the color keyed roll bar.

@AttainableLuxury-vv2xq 6 ай бұрын

It’s a beautiful color and unique. Bet the keyed roll bars in that color looked awesome!

Great video on a car that is getting more and more recognition. Love my 1998 Boxster. I see that you don’t need to perform the Boxster chop on the plastic window like I have to do when lowering the top!

@AttainableLuxury-vv2xq Ай бұрын

Thank you so much! The plastic window cooperated while filming, but sometimes I need to resort to the Boxster chop! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Very true! I’ve had to put some money into mine also. Enjoy your 986!

@@AttainableLuxury-vv2xq Thank You! Ditto! You have a wonderful looking ride! I am getting to like the looks of the hard top...When you put it on, you leave it on for the winter months? I live in Sunny FL. My AC gets used more than the top down, but when it's cool out, or a nice summer night , it's nice topless. Again, Thank You!! 😀⛱️👍 Subbed

I love Florida! Lucky you. Great place to own a 986.

The original owner paid for the optional Xenon headlights as well as the hardtop...those are huge factory upgrades which are even more expensive after the fact. When people ask me what kind of mileage I get with mine I tell them Porsche does things differently...it's not miles per gallon it's smiles per gallon...😎

@AttainableLuxury-vv2xq 8 ай бұрын

Haha! Very True! It's a great car. Love the upgrades.

@hartmanwagner5576 8 ай бұрын

Also these cars need top tier gas with octane of 93 or above, my suggestion is only use Shell V-Power Nitro+ gas. The M96 engines are not know for fuel economy. These car are meant to be driven with spirt, holding gears till 6k or more rpm.

@acepalacio8223 2 ай бұрын

How much was that hard top and is it an after market one? Only complaint about your car that I have is a 5 speed manual and what a difference in driving experience,just an opinion.Beautiful color mine is speed yellow 2000 2.7 Looking forward to your other videos.

@AttainableLuxury-vv2xq 2 ай бұрын

Hello! The hard top is factory. It’s original to the car. If I could drive a manual I would have probably gone that route. I bet that yellow is stunning. It’s also unique, I don’t see it that often. I appreciate your watching and commenting!

@mattlaubscher5020 8 ай бұрын

Great review. Where could one get a hard top?

@AttainableLuxury-vv2xq 8 ай бұрын

Thank you! You may want to check eBay for a hardtop. There's also a Delaware Porsche Parts that sells hardtops for a 2005 - 2012 Boxster.

This is a driving coffin! In case of crash you get smashed! Buy a bull car like a dodge or cadillac or chevrolet! If you don't know ask Arnold Swarzenegger! 😂😂😂

The vehicles that crush smaller cars the big ones driving inattentively or aggressively. If I see a white pick-up I stay clear. Those drivers are on a mission to ride up my tailpipe.
