Hi guys,

 

can i check what's the maintenance cost of a 2011 3.6l panamera like?

Any major repairs/problems to look out for when buying?

 

any experienced bro can help to share your experience?

Replace hoses and belts if they are old.

In singapore heat, and start stop traffic

those are the things that usually up lorry first

 

Beyond the visual check, its a lot about luck.

Even good now can be not good a week later

Neutral Newbie

Hi everyone,

Newbie here, great to be part of the community!

I am looking around for a used Boxster 987.2 (2010 or 2011 model). I believe this model does not have the infamous IMS issue. I have a few questions:

1. Is there anything I should take note of before buying?

2. Is there anyone I can hire to inspect the car for me before I purchase it?

3. How is the maintenance/cost like for this model?

Thanks!

Etiqa, it's the only one I found that wants to insure my  Boxster.

and it turns out Anika might be the culprit as they quoted me a renewal with Etiqa that's ~$600 more than the direct Etiqa quote.

so lesson learned, skip the insurance-broker and go direct.

I use Anika too, and the insurer they pick is often Etiqa (sometimes Liberty). 

When this happens, just contact them and ask them to match the previous quote. 

Has worked for me everytime.

1. https://www.porscheclubgb.com/regions-registers/registers/modern/cayman/porsche-cayman-buyers-guide/987-buyers-guide ; can google for others

2. Flatsix & Weissach Motors do inspection but have to book early; can try Motor Edgevantage too

3. Not too bad, but i only done 1 oil change and will have to change suspensions bits (creaking) soon
