Help! Looking to purchase 99 Boxster and had questions about PPI findings

[Brucelee]

That car has been hit and likely hit hard. Either that, or he jumped the curb at speed.

Specific to the comment, "no frame damage" these cars are unibody. That means that unless the PPI guy is a wizard AND he put this car on an alignment machine, he has NO way of being sure there is no frame damage.

That is why I walk away when I see ANY paintwork, save the plastic bumper covers. There is just no way to know how bad the accident was.

The fact that the suspension had work done is a red flag. It COULD have been noise related, but why take the chance? Likely, it was not.

Run away, run away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tires have 50% remaining on front and 70% on the rear. Brakes are 60% on front and 80% on rear.

I think I'm going to walk away from this one. My original intent was to find a Boxster in the Seattle area- at least I could pop down for a test drive. I did notice that there is way more selection in California, but the downside is that I don't get to see the car.

Until then, I'll keep on looking.

Thanks for the advice, you guys are awesome.

Legume, good things come to those who wait. Good for you. If you are diligent and patient, you'll find a cream puff of a boxster that's been loved and cared for, and at a good price too.
