Craig, this may sound silly, but buying any used car is somewhat of a gamble. Apps and forums do nothing to change that. Reputable or not, cars can be in perfect running condition the next day and 1 ton paperweight the next.

If you want to buy a boxster that you can have faith in, there are plenty of threads about how to do ppi's and what to look for. If you can't do it yourself, find an Indy in your area who can. Keep in mind though that the 986 is a NOT a maintenance free vehicle and quite frankly your barking up the wrong tree if that's what you're looking for. Further, unless you're doing the maintenance, you can count on paying $200+ per hour for anyone to turn a wrench on her.
