Was the seller previously in the business of rating mortgage securities circa 2008?
Although in his defense he provides better guidance here.
What is the mileage?
If you are serious about this car, have a reall PPI done and be sure to include a leakdown
and compression test. Use the test results to guide your counter offer price.
My general rule is the higher the mileage, the longer the list of repairs that have already been taken care of needs to be. A car with moderate to high miles that hasn't had many repairs billed as "needs nothing" is dubious. And you want to see at least one oil change per year regardless of how low the mileage is. If that can't be documented, I would be leary about paying up, if not walking away entirely. There are two things a Boxster needs, regular oil changes and minding of the cooling system (hence leak down and compression testing).
