Hi all,

I need your advice, opinion please? I am looking for my first Boxster and have been very picky in my search for over 4 months now. I finally found one which I think is very nice. I will be going to see it and drive it this week. It's a private 2nd owner. 2001 Boxster. Dark Blue, beige interior, blue top, white gauges, 18 inch rims with 4 brand new tires. 38,000 miles. Car fax shows routine maintenance and she will let me get the PPI done on it from a reputable Porsche dealer local to our area. She said she had the 30,000 mile maintenance done which she said was pretty expensive. She lists the car for $20,500 but will sell it to me for $19,500. I offered $19k.

She also said she garaged it from Nov. - April (we live in PA) and drove it about 2k miles per year.

Can anyone tell me what type of routine maintenance I may have to incur after purchasing assuning PPI comes back good? And is this a reasonable price for the car?

I have attached 2 pictures for review. Thanks so much for your help.
