Would you buy a repaired Boxster?

[thstone]

If its priced the same (or nearly the same) as other Boxster's, why take the risk?

I'd stay away unless it was a really, really good deal (something like 30%-50% cheaper than comparable cars) and then I'd be sure to have the best PPI done in the world.

A lot of totaled Porsche's are bought at auctions, thrown back together with salvage yard parts, and sold to unsuspecting buyers. Do your own due diligence - get the VIN and research it. Ask for repair receipts. And don't believe anything you're told unless its in writing.

A 2000S goes for about $15k in good condition in Toronto. I have him at $11.5 before the PPI.

Why even give it a second thought? It has had a serious accident and even at $11.5 it is still no bargain. It is seriously tainted - move on. There are lots of well cared for accident free Boxsters out there.

Keep looking friend. Lots of Porsches in the area. He would need to come down a lot more IMO. I paid about that for my 02 base just outside TO a month back and it's a clean car.
