Thinking of buying the 2002 Porsche Boxster?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2002 Porsche Boxster; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2002 Porsche Boxster for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the Boxster
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain here is the 2.7L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Plan on about 35 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 11.8 L/100 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $61.95 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,100 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who the Boxster suits
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
The Boxster in everyday use
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Try before you buy
Try the Boxster on your commute, then decide. Rent the Boxster for a week and see how it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $206.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Your move
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2002 Porsche Boxster from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2002 Porsche Boxster for you and reply within one business day.
