Jason,

The vehicle was purchased new by a Pakistani gentleman who had ties to the Boston area. I recall, that within the first few hundred miles of ownership, the boxster was indeed sent to Roock USA for a major "tuner" program that involved an engine conversion, suspension, body kit upgrades ect... The boxster remained with Roock for well over a year while they tried in earnest to get the ecu programing correct. Ultimately, the project was completed, however, not without some bad feelings arising between the customer and Roock. As far as I know, the Boxster was well cared for and driven sparsely before the owner moved to Europe for employment reasons. While he was away (approximately 5 years ), the vehicle was left in the care of a family member and stored in southern Connecticut. It was just this summer that he returned to the Boston area and decided to take the boxster out of "moth balls". I am surprised to see that he decided to dispose of it. Its a very unique vehicle , one of the first of its kind in fact, and the owner went to great lengths to modify it. In any case, it sounds like you came across a real "find". Best of luck !

Johnny

p.s. May I ask what you purchased it for ? Originally, he wanted me to buy it for around 50K.
