The subject is a 1999 Boxster with 54K miles. Has been sitting at a friend of mines repo lot for 4 months. I'm considering purchasing it but he installed a battery and it will not start. His proposal is to bring it to me and see if I can get it started for him.

I'm suspecting some type of aftermarket or oem security system that has disabled the starting circuit.

Any suggestions?

Is the car turning over or is he getting nothing, i.e., no sign of power in the car?
