Considering Buying A 2002 Boxster...

[RoughDobermann]

And I'm scared! :-)

Seriously though, it's a 2002 with 53,000 on the odo. Original owner sold it late last year and the second owner only had it for five months. Asking $10,500.

I drove it today, and was pretty happy with the performance, even though it was snowing. The clutch did seem awfully heavy, but I got used to it during the test drive. And, the gear box seemed a bit vague, if you know what I mean?

And, the CEL was on...

The dealer selling it claims that the original owner has the IMS bearing replaced.

I'm going to have the local Porsche dealership do a PPI. Can they tell if the IMS bearing has been replaced? Guessing no, but thought I'd ask.

Also, here in CO, it's required to have a front license plate. The front bumper has two square holes in it where the plate holder should be. How do I rectify this?

Anything else I should be looking for?

Any and all ideas, comments and suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks much.
