The first car the 98 should be yours but if it was me I would look elsewhere as he has gone back on his word. Don't be in a hurry to buy . There are lots of Boxsters out there.
Finding a car with a new IMS etc is comparatively rare. 98k miles(or kilometres?) on a Boxster if it is miles is quite high and you should ask to see maintenance/repair records.
There is lots of stuff that can go wrong even if work has been done.
My car for example is a Box base 2001. Now 45 k miles. It needs about $1500+ of camshaft deviation work and while in there could easily replace IMS, RMS, clutch overhaul etc etc. So even lower mileage cars will need around $2k a year spent on them. As they say pay now or pay later....
I don't want to be pessimistic but that has been the reality for me. It is the most fun car I have ever had though.
Patience, knowledge etc are very important. Make sure all lites shine before starting engine. Especially CEL light.
Cheers, Guy
