986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners - View Single Post - Need Advice; Is my '98 at risk for engine failure?

I recently bought a '98 with 28k. As for the engine, I was fully aware, from reading this board, of the issue. I did a Pre Purchase Inspection and your buyer should also. If the PPI comes back clean, he should be satisfied. I think $19,000 is fair for the car and reflects the general market value for Boxsters of that age and mileage (which takes the engine issue into consideration as well).

My best advice: keep the car and get rid of the buyer. Otherwise, hold firm for the $19,000.
