How mechanically inclined are you?
Do you have an OPC (official Porsche Centre) or independant Porsche garage in Nicosia?
How was the car stored - under cover or in the hot Cyprus sun and wind?
How much money are you willing to spend...?

Being stood stationary for 2 years is possibly not the problem, but why it's been stationary could be. If you have no experience in resurrecting cars like the Boxster, I would start looking for a Porsche specialist on the island and see what advise they can give you.

Personally I wouldn't buy the car untill I had a good idea why its been stationary for such a long time - it could be an easy fix, but it could also be a money pit.....
