these cars are too expensive to just start changing parts w/o knowing what's actually wrong, so I second the folks who recommended doing the cheap stuff first, i.e. brake fluid flush, checking rotor thickness, etc.

btw, you wouldn't get a brake sensor warning light if the PO disabled the sensor following the last pad change, so I wouldn't rely on just that. also, depending upon the service history, the fluid may have never been changed and/or cheaper pads were used during replacement.

sounds like your best bet is to have someone who's familiar with boxster brakes to evaluate it for you or take it to an independent shop.
As of right now, 24321 miles. 2004 model. It was serviced before they sent it over, a month ago, but I'm not sure how legit that is.
