Need advice on Pre Purchase Inspection report

[thom4782]

You can do better. It will take time and effort. That said, a couple of $K in the purchase price will be forgotten when maintainkng 15-20 year old cars with close to 100K on their odometers...think IMS, clutch, flywheel, brakes, rotors, suspension components, etc.

I don't think getting $600 off changes anything. I would be happy he turned it down (which sounds foolish to me) and move on. There are lots of Boxsters out there but it takes time to find one that has been looked after with no stories.

Thanks for the additional strengthening comments

Meanwhile, what is it with people who advertise cars on Craigslist?
I've been trying to contact 3 sellers for the last 2 days about local cars I'm interested in.

One answered my first call, said he was driving and would call me back later. He never did, and since then has not answered any of my calls or texts (a very nice looking 2 owner 2000 323 Ci manual).
Another didn't answer the phone, responded to my text after a day saying yes the car is for sale, but never responded on my follow up questions or request to come see the car (a 2004 Mini Cooper).
And a third didn't answer the phone or respond to my voicemail and text at all (2006 Mini Cooper)

Are there better places to look for cheap cars than Craigslist?
