That’s based upon the data presented at the class action legal case.
That particular used car lot doesn't want your Boxster, get over it. Take it around to the local dealers and an Indy repair shop and see what they say. Sounds to me like the car salesman was being overly cautious.

Or keep it. Sounds like a dandy car.
