Hi and welcome to the forum. Congrats on your new toy Why you didn't ask this before you bought the Boxster ?

Enjoy your toy before anticipating any issues, IMHO

many years ago we had a T.V. show called the muppet show. Kermit the frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzy Bear, Animal and my favorite, the Sweedish Chef. Do you remember that show? Always wanted to know what the Sweedes thought of the Sweedish chef. Yes I know I'm being ridiculus.

as for you Finland assembled(most likely) Boxster:
1.how many miles?
2. Does the seller have all the service records? Annual oil changes?
3. Does your local Porsche dealer offer Pre Purschase Inspection of the engine, transmission, brakes, etc? If you can arrange this then DEFINITELY DO IT!!
If they find something wrong you can use this information to negotiate a lower price. If they find something VERY wrong, find another Boxster.

Hi..

I dont like the muppet show..

I will buy my Boxster at Porsche in Germany.
It has "full history" - all services are held.
It will be checked according to Porsches 100point test before i buy the car.
I will get 1 free service that will be performed when i decide to buy it.
It has 1 year of warranty...

I think that is okay


Still i would like to know if i have to be aware of any noices etc...?

Make sure it does not have an RMS(Rear Main Seal) oil leak. I would ask them if you could take it someplace to have it inspected by a Porsche mechanic before you buy it. Good luck.
