Just curious -- I have a 2000 Boxster S (bought it used), from California and imported to Canada. Anyway, it came with a "Boxster" owner's manual, but it didn't differentiate between the S and non-S. Not that there's any difference operationally.

Is there in fact, a different manual for the S's?

Does not the front cover say it is for a Boxster and Boxster S?

Ipecac

Oh dear... I don't remember see an "S" anywhere on the front cover but I'll check tonight when I get home. I hope I didn't miss something as silly as that...

The front cover of a 2000 Boxstir owners manual....

Ipecac

Hm... strange... Mine doesn't look like that at all. I'll have to check mine at home... Argh. Thanks for the pic and post!

Let us know. Since you have a used car....

The first page has a part number. It starts with WKD 986 021 and then 2 more numbers. 99 for a 1999 as an example. 00 for a 2000.

The picture on the front cover changed for 2000 when the Boxster S came out. 1997-1999 were just Boxster with a different picture.

Ipecac

Well this is strange... This is the number found on the first page:

WKD 986 021 99

But it's a 2000 Boxster S... and I bought it from a friend's brother, who was the only owner. Weird, eh?

You have a 1999 owners manual, for whatever reason, and that is why it just has Boxster on the cover. Boxster S did not exist in 1999.

T'is true -- but I don't understand why the heck the previous owner had a 1999 Boxster manual... he owned a 1997 Boxster before he bought the S in 2000, so it doesn't quite make sense.

I'll have to email him...
