Hi guys,
I've just been taking a general look around the forum and seen some pretty good stuff. I currently own an MG TF, and after having had the enjoyment from it I am looking for a replacement.
I have been looking at some 97 - 99 (2.5) Boxsters and really fancy one now! Just I have a few questions.
I am going to need to take out a small loan to buy the boxster, altohugh that doesnt bother me. What does is my insurance. Because I am young my insurance is £1000 more than my TF would be which was already at a pretty high price!
I am a DIYer when it come to all my car work! Every thing from brakes to servicing etc. I have also decided that the car will not be my daily drive like the TF was as the train services available are really good!
I am just curious if people could give me a rough idea at what is involved with regards to running costs of a boxster covering roughly around 10K miles a year? (Not so much mpg related)
I also do the ocasional 500mile round trip, its a pretty much all motorway journey and was just looking for a rough idea of what MPG a 2.5 would return being drive carefully at motorway speed?
Thanks in advanced
Ben
