Given the pricing deal it can't hurt at all to have a PPI done, so I'd say do that for sure.

Also read here:
Boxster Buyer's Tips

Mike Focke also has a webpage that I cannot pull up at the moment, but I will edit my post later and add his site in unless someone else would like to beat me to it. He's also got plenty of good information.

If she's just selling it that low because it's of no use to her, then you sure will be getting a deal should the PPI have good results.

Don't feel any shame, it being an S you'll still have plenty of fun with a Tiptronic. Do a search on here for "kickdown switch" and see the lil trick these cars have up their sleeves...er, vents, rather.

1. there are no cheap porsches. who knows maybe you've found the first one, but odds are...

2. yes, get a PPI!

3. i have a tip and don't regret my decision. i can and have driven manuals most of my life. to be honest i was passing over tips when i started looking around. but figured "eh, i'll check it out" after looking at only manuals. after checking it out i bought it. i don't regret buying the tip, especially when dealing with DC-area traffic. i do admit to spending most of the time in "manual" mode however.
