at first i thought "demo" meant it was a test driven car or something, but there was only 11 miles (13 miles after my test drive ) on it. the dealership told me it's a demo car because the dealership "bought" it so that it can be listed as a sale for porsche... or something to that extent.

i would be listed as the car's first owner, but the warranty would be backdated to when the dealership bought it (december 2008).

anybody have any opinions/ideas/suggestions on getting a demo car?

hope to soon join all you boxster owners (= thanks.


If you're the first owner why the backdated coverage? I have bought demos before, each time the warranty has equaled new car status. IMO, if you decide to go for it you should try to get this dealer to extend the warranty themselves if needed.
