Im looking for a convertible and im finding a lot of these on lots around Houston. I owned a Jag years back and there were all type of issues w/ them. I am wanting to know if there is anyone who knows if these Porsche's have issues worth noting.

Please help if you are knowledgeable. Thank You!

  1. Not sure but here's a TSB http://www.mycarstats.com/auto_TSBs/PORS...


  2. The early models .. do have issues with engine explosion from within...so stay away from those...pre 2000..the later models do have an issue with an oil leak at the rear engine seal and aux. shaft flange directly below rear seal..Porsche has remedied this as of 2004..also the older models did have an oil separator issue..(smoking) which Porsche has also addressed...other than those issues it really is a good car for the money...esp..the S model.good luck

  3. Nope.

    Porsche is the most reliable German brand. Their engines are tested endlessly through many endurance tests.

    And British cars like Jaguar are known for having lots of problems.

    I have only seen one problem with the older Boxsters-The Power top will get stuck if you do not close it properly.
