Burnt looking plastic window? 4 keys? Looking to buy a boxster
 
Hello, I'm looking to buy a boxster and found a decent one. It has a new clutch and ims, but theres 2 odd things. The first is that it comes with 4 keys. Not really sure why anyone would need 4 keys but oh well. The second is that the plastic rear window looks almost burnt, it could be just weathering and such. Anyone have any input?

Looks like the top stayed folded away and the car was left outdoors (in sunny SoCal) for 20 years or so. Time for a new top.
I have three keys - two driver keys and one smaller valet key.

Novus 1,2,3 kit is what I used to polish some of that window out. Inside and out, work up from the most abrasive to finally a polish.Looked new and lasted for 5 years.

A new top with glass window can go about $700-800 parts and maybe the same in labor depending on where you live. Or two people and maybe two days. Or junk yard and a top and frame off a 2003-2004 Boxster.

May have 4 keys because someone swapped in a different immobilizer and left the exterior locks the same, so one set starts the car, the other set locks the doors.

If the top cleans up well and is in acceptable condition the plastic rear window can be replaced . Any convertible shop or decent sized boat yard can do it . If the top itself is crapple I would suggest looking for an OEM top/frame from a 2003-2004 as you get the factory fit AND a glass window . Or you can have a convertible shop put a new top on your existing frame . Lots of options available .
