Thanks Jim,

Both my 2 previous 2.5 Boxsters needed the rear oil seal replacing. One in warranty and the other out of warranty (ouch!!). I was hoping the 2.7 didn't have the same issues as I seem to remember that the 2.5 seals were not adequate so you would think they would have sorted that out. Still with 80k miles plus I should be ok.

Rear tyres fine. Fronts worn but that was reflected in price really.

Service. What is the OPC recommendation? Would an oil service be ok? I can't remember if it was annual servicing or mileage based servicing or what?

Thanks
