Purchasing advice: Low mileage S. is boroscope necessary?

[dghii]

Suggest local indy follow typical steps for 9x6 cars...
Get car on the rack...
Inspect for leaks, especially the area between the Engine and Tranny
Remove oil filter and then sump to check for FOD.
Inspect suspension CV joints.
Inspect rotors, pads etc.
Inspect tires for uneven wear

Lots of things to consider and check.

Although a Borescope is a great tool, not sure I'd pay $400 to have it done as part of a PPI.

Thanks for the great info.

I am not sure as well that a compression test or a boroscope will be more helpful than a road test and a visual inspection.

If it’s not this car it will be another one soon, I loved the sound of the 6 cylinders

Yes agreed, should seek a mechanic with the most Boxster knowledge. Check oil filter 1st, if you find excessive metal cancel the rest of the PPI & pay for that only. :chicken:
