Well, Finally got the one I was looking for: '01 Boxster S with 15k miles,
perfectly maintained and all recalls are done at dealer. The car still under
Porsche Warranty until July '05 so I I'll take it to dealer next spring for
a thorough check before the warranty expires. I've been doing basic work on
my '99 A6 Q and the 95 Passat VRX Wagon (Oil / Filters / plugs, etc...). I
know this Boxster is not your basic amateur work, but how accessible is the
oil and filter from below (I've Garage, Ramps, Stands, tools, etc... ); How
about air filters, is there your basic radiator in this great car.

Looking forward to some good reading here.

The oil drain and filter are easy - except that you need a 7mm (IIRC - I
don't
want to run out to my garage to check) hex wrench for the drain. It's nice
to
have a socket, because a regular "L"-shaped wrench might not give you
enough leverage.
