    Sunset Porsche is a good recommendation. As is Suncoast Porsche. Both have web sites.
  2. White987S
    The tire has a code date in the side wall. Use the Tire rack web site to decipher the date.

    Shboxster, LoJack is a theft recovery system, hidden in the car, FYI.
  4. White987S
    Why would this be necessary? What about adding someting like LoJack instead?

    Change the oil before you leave, too. A good wax job. Car cover. A few desicators in the cabin. Park on a plastic tarp. Just a few more things I do for every winter hibernation (+5 months).

    Thanks, Anders0n||C4S. Obviously I have never changed the oil on the Boxster!

    Congrats, great car. Easy to drive hard, and instills a lot of confidence. Black cars are hard to keep clean, but you probably know this (use Zaino products). I would miss the drop-top, though.
  8. White987S
    OK, stupid question here! How do you open up the oil filter? I want to take a look at mine next time. And, how do you cut it open, and not get metal crossover from the cutting process?
  9. White987S
    If money was no object (hard to say in today's ecenomy) this would be the ideal situation, but not required. Mainly, you need to replace the rears with the same tire model and brand. How old are your front tires? If more than 5 years old, then yes, I'd replace them too.

    You can PM the VIN to Loren. And possibly he can run an options report for you.

    Jade green leather, that sounds kind of rare. Welcome to the Porsche world. :) Yes, I have heard of a few horn problems with the Boxster. Not too uncommon. Join your local PCA, and take some Drivers Ed and Auto X's.

    Jay, the dealer is probably right. Artic Silver is a very-very common Porsche color in 2006. Get your bumper plugs from Eric at www.bumperplugs.com. Great quality. I would bet if the color is wrong, Eric will take them back, and make it right for you.
  13. White987S
    eBay may be a good option for you too.
  14. White987S
    Never a good idea to mix tires on the car. Especially a perfomance/sports car.
  15. White987S
    True, but a place like Blackstone will only tell you the metal concentration and metal type. Maybe Brad's recommendation can tell the owner more about the actual internal part that is breaking down and the actual source of the metal.

    The 2006 Boxster in the USA has smart air bags, for sure. As little weight as my computer bag is enough to set off the sensors, and deactivate the airbags.
  17. White987S
    Keep looking. There are a ton of Porsche for sale right now. Don't be in a rush.
  18. White987S
    Jjanari, good job! There are days that I wish I could do stuff like this to my Boxster. Maybe someday I will learn...when out of warranty.
  19. White987S
    Just a few quick thoughts: 1) The 2006 has smart air bags. Good for young passangers, who need a booster seat. Might not need the expensive Porsche child seat. 2) Get the "S"
  20. White987S
    Don't forget that more than 50% of the engine cooling comes from the 9 quarts of synthetic oil in there.
  21. White987S
    And I am in my mid-40's...and my wife's 8 year old Mercedes E320 4-Matic has a higher (about $200) yearly premium than my 2006 987S. Same coverage. No claims. No accidents.
  22. White987S
    A $130 is a lot of money...but remember, most Porsche shop fees exceed $200/hour. Can't expect them to work for free. Glad you are fixed and renjoying your car. :)
  23. White987S
    If something cost $100 Audi dollars, plan to spend $200 Porsche dollars...or more. A dealership will charge $200+ for an oil change. Sure, you can do this yourself too. Tires. A good set, with mounting & balance will be over $2,000. I would guess your car insurance will be over $4,000/year.
  24. White987S
    Buy the 987S. You will always want more power. Good luck.
  25. White987S
    Wow! How old was the fuel?
