What owners report
I WAS INTERESTED IN PURCHASING A 2000 PORSCHE BOXSTER S. I TOOK THE CAR TO A PORSCHE DEALER TO HAVE A PRE PURCHASE INSPECTION PERFORMED AND WAS NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE 53,000 MILE CAR ACTUALLY HAD A FACTORY REPLACEMENT ENGINE INSTALLED FOR UNKNOWN REASON. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP THAT ACTUALLY INSTALLED THE FACTORY REPLACEMENT ENGINE AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED AT 35,000 MILES FOR AN OIL LEAK. THE DEALERSHIP THAT PERFORMED THE INSPECTION REPORTED THAT A FEW MINOR ISSUES NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED BUT OVERALL THAT THE CAR WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR AND WITHIN 2,000 MILES OF MY OWNERSHIP, THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT BEARING BOLT FAILED
IGNITION LOCK FAILURE - 2000 BOXSTER S. DEALER MECHANIC ADVISED THAT PROBLEM IS SERIOUS AND COMMON. WILL ALWAYS LEAD TO STRANDED MOTORIST. PROBLEM SO COMMON MECHANIC REQUESTED QUOTE FOR 'NUKED IGNITION LOCK' FROM SERVICE WRITER. SERVICE WRITER REPLIES $450 WITHOUT HAVING TO LOOK IT UP AND ALSO HUMOROUSLY ACKNOWLEDGES FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE. PROBABLY WIDESPREAD ACROSS PORSCHE MODEL AND YEAR RANGE, INCLUDING CARRERA, THANKS TO STANDARDIZATION OF COMPONENTS. IN MY CASE THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE ON POSITION, SO I HAD TO FORCE THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, STRAINING KEY AND DASH COMPONENTS. IT'S BEST FOR OTHER OWNERS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE AT THE DEALER BEFORE THEY FORCE THEIR KEY OUT. *JB
