Looking at a 2002 Boxster S with 119k miles.... oil changed every 14k ( ), full leather, heated seats, xenon, etc.
Car needs:
New brakes (owner says rear, but I presume all)
Coolant reservoir
Blinker stalk replacement
Paint cracking on front bumper

Owner was quite tricky to speak with as he is sick, so I wasn't able to grill him completely. Chances are it's going to need tires and a once over, but one thing that stood out to me was that he said it's never had a clutch changed; my Boxster with 80k had never had a clutch change (none of my cars have), but 119k seems like a long time to go.

My questions are-
What''s the longest you have gone without replacing the clutch?

At $5,500-$6,000, please tell me this is a good idea.
ummm,..........sorry about that........ I saw this on CL, I pick it up weds.
Does need turnsignal stalk, coolant res, and rear brake pads. The paint is not cracked, it is the clear bra someone stuck on there that is cracked and should come off pretty easy. All service has been performed by Porsche. Clutch felt really good, and does not need service as of now, give me a couple of weeks then we will see. Love the heated seats Even the rear window plastic is clear.
