Buying 99 Boxster - Concerns?

[p3230]

I bought a 2008 Nissan 350Z from a used car dealer in San Diego 9 years ago and had it shipped here in Canada without seeing and just talking to the salesman and I could tell the person was honest and when the car got here it was just like he called it. No regrets on buying it I just miss it. The Porsche was the same I bought it from a gentleman in Paris Ontario, hopped on the train he met me at the station took me to his house where the car was and then I drove it back home some four hundred kilometers and never had a PPI or any other checkup done on it. I got the Carfax from the seller and just talking to him was enough.

You were lucky. Good for you.

I got screwed doing the exact same thing. The seller was nice. He seemed incredibly honest. He was upfront about everything. So I believed him and bought the car.

Then I spent $2,000 repairing all of the things that weren't working and which he had to know weren't working when he sold me the car. He literally lied through his teeth and smiled the whole time.

I learned a lesson the hard $$$$ way. Don't be me.

I'm sorry you got screwed over, but I still think there are good people in the world.
