I was considering purchasing a 2002 Boxster S with 58,000 miles on odometer from a large car dealer. I had the car inspected by a porsche dealership and was told the engine had been replaced at 47,000 miles. The car also had a rear main gasket that was replaced at 58,000 miles. While the new engine has only 11,000 actual miles, this information was not disclosed to me by the dealer. I'm somewhat interested in this car, but I'm also a little bit apprehensive too. This would be my first porsche purchase and I want to be satisfied that I get off on a good start. Could someone give me some advice. . . .
