if the car had less than 20 miles on it when he bought it. I'll bet the car was a demo, or a loaner and/or the car was titled to the dealership as the first owner.

Dealers have been known to do that to get the car recorded as sold to increase their commission or allotment of cars. Those were the days.

Both the Boxsters I've bought have been owned by 2 owners before me. As Porsches are often sold because people's circumstances change, I don't consider that significant.

I'd still have a PPI done to verify the condition. Cost about $250 in labor, immense peace of mind.

IMHO.
