2002 Porsche Boxster 77K Miles Only - Super Clean!! | eBay

Hi Paperboy, hard to tell anything definitive from the listing and pics. Looks like a 'wheeler-dealer' car to me (but that's not necessarily bad and it's just my opinion). From the pics - seats appear to have been reupholstered, recent top which is not fitting correctly at the b-pillar frame on either side, ding in truck lid, coolant tank is original (or it's been in there a while if replaced), front intake grills have been (poorly) repainted from silver to black.

All the plastic trim bits in the frunk appear to be there and the dashboard condition looks good in the pics. Comes with two keys - a positive if they are both working. No mention of an IMSB replacement or other common mechanical items which will need to be addressed in a car of its age.

Just looking at the pics and description I can't comment one way or the other regarding purchase.

IMHO, at the least it needs a thorough PPI and the body needs to be examined for any bodywork prior to purchase.
