Default 2013 Boxster S

Any major issues or problems? Thinking of buying a low mileage '13 Boxster S.

Great car/platform as far as I know.

I am sure the model experts will chime in (mechanics, even better!), but I think a lot of the weaknesses on earlier models have been pretty much worked out by then. I am sure any of the last non-turbo Boxster/Caymans would be great fun.

Cheers

Love mine, 2013 S manual, most fun and best handling car I've ever owned, even rides well on our third world roads. I had done my homework before buying, I knew what I wanted, it doesn't disappoint.
I'd of course recommend having it checked, if its a manual especially have it checked for over revs, absolutely nothing is inexpensive on these cars. I highly recommend We Tune Autosports in Lachine, competent and very nice people.
Be warned, if you have never have owned a Porsche, avoid the dealers for anything but warranty work, $300+ for an oil change and it only gets worse from there...
PM me if you have any questions, glad to help if I can.

Matt, Paul - thanks for the replies. Happy to say that I am now the proud owner of a '13 Boxster S. Car had me after the 1st mile of the test drive. It's a very nicely optioned & kept CPO car with 7,500 miles, bought & serviced at my local dealer. Still have the big smile on my face every time I crank it up!!

Congrats, we need pics, welcome aboard!
Mine was a similar story, CPO low mileage, just moved it out of the garage today for the first time this year, replate it next week, can't wait!

Been looking for the right 981S CPO for six months. Seen a bunch of 718's but they just don't have that flat six sound !!
Keep us posted on your search.
