Would you buy a repaired Boxster?

So true. Two friends own a salvage yard and at one time I bought salvage cars for the family. One of them was a flood damage Audi A4. It was pristine with 20,000 miles and no evidence of any flood damage. The 22 year old daughter bought it for a fraction of the market value. The first time she washed it a flood of water came in through the top of the windshield. It had been improperly installed. 85,000 miles later that car is running great.

I have bought and repaired three VW Passats, an Audi S4, a Porsche 993, another Audi A4, a VW Jetta and a BMW 535I. As itsnotanova said, most of these cars should not have been totaled and they save me a lot of money.

The OP should take caution. I have seen cars that should never have seen the road again repaired. Or, substandard work done to flip a car. There are so many Boxsters on the market I would pass on any with a story unless it is well documented and a big money saver. Good luck and keep us posted.
