Well I got it towed to a shop. The guy who sold me the car actually picked me up after the car was towed and we really haven't discussed who's responsible for anything in particular. I bought it directly from him through craigslist and just waiting for an estimate. He mentioned he had some credit at this shop, so we'll see how everything goes. I would someday like to be a DIYer but really don't know much about cars.

If it is indeed the master cylinder though, what could cause this to break in the first place? I'm not really sure if the blame is really on my side or his side or 50/50.

The thing is I've paid off his loan to the bank for the car and am still waiting for the pink slip which is being sent to me. We've already completed a bill of sale so that I can transfer ownership without his signature.

I really appreciate all this insight and will let you know the results. I'm really excited about being a boxster owner but I feel like I really need to brush up on all of its parts and how to troubleshoot things. Is there a good place to start to understand how the car works? To be honest this is my first MT car and I had just learned a week ago and I can drive it well enough but don't really understand all the mechanics behind it.

Thanks so much for all the boxster wisdom!
