Are Boxsters 50 state cars?

Should be okay. Things to investigate though, how many miles on it? Has it been modified, i.e. exhaust, cats, (4) O2 sensors all intact? How current are the rest of the standard maintenance items? How clear a picture do you have of the maintenance history? Which owner # are you? Why are they selling? You should really have a PPI done. They can check for over-revs, O2 sensor readings, any pending CEL, etc. Get it up on a lift and check underneath.

IMO, if the seller isn't overly transparent, walk away. Difficult sellers are usually hiding something. Parts are too expensive and California can be difficult to pass smog. Good luck, safe travels.
