Good point. Carmax 30 day says it covers leaking shocks. Both PPI's were not concerned about the wet strut or the wettness at the back of the engine. If Carmax fixes the clutch, then I'm sure they would do the struts too.

If I were you, I would walk away from this deal. Too many good cars out there for sale to take a chance on a questionable one.

First, good job on getting a PPI! You spent the smartest $200-$300 you'll ever spend.

Unless CarMax is willing to fix all of this or reduce the price, I'd also say to walk away from this one. There are a lot of Boxsters out there and you are sure to find one without an RMS seep, bad clutch, and a leaking shock.

I wouldn't put much faith in the CarMax warranty. Used car warranties are notoriously poor.
