Porsche Boxster 986 Buyers Guide & Mini Pre Purchase Inspection | IMS bearing failure warning signs

Porsche Boxster Buyers Guide and Mini PPI Pre Purchase Inspection on a used Porsche Boxster 986 and 987 Cayman.


Ill show you how to perform your own mini Pre Purchase Inspection before having your local Porsche Specialist give the car a full PPI. Everyone is talking about the IMS bearing failure warning signs, and the best way to find out if the IMS bearing is going out on your Porsche Boxster 986 or Porsche Cayman 987 is to keep an eye on the oil filter during every oil change. If you find little metal specks in the paper filter, then that could be a sign that the IMS bearing is on it's way out.

This Porsche Boxster 986 buying guide will walk you step by step on the major things to look at while you're shopping for a used 1997 to 2004 Porsche Boxster or a 2005-2008 Porsche Boxster 987 or Porsche Cayman 987. From how to check for potential IMS, RMS, and AOS issues before you buy, to the basic things you should be checking when buying a used Porsche Boxster or Porsche Cayman. This is a great review on the early Porsche Boxsters.
