I might be that idiot, but my main concern is reducing my financial risk. The purchase price for a 1999-2001 Boxster is low, low for me. But it looks like it can be an iceberg. The purchase price is the thing you see above the waterline, everything else is below. I don't expect a new, maintenance free experience with a 14 year old car, but I want to know what those risks are.
Consumables, brakes, gas, oil, tires, and rotors are expenses that are easy to predict and plan for. Paying for a motor replacement/rebuild on a 60,000 mile car would be disappointing.
RaisedOnPorsches' listing shows me what's above and below the water line. I'd still do a PPI.
