Agree with San Rensho on this totally. A car that has sat for close to 10 years is going to have issues. Also, don't let the "what it listed for" price drive you at all. It sounds good in stories at a party, but when the rubber hits the road, its all about wholesale, retail and what its worth to you. If they are trying to make the case of look what I paid for it and this is all you will have to pay to own it...nah that does not hold water. You don't buy Boxsters to make money, they are for enjoyment and driving.

A ten yr old car with 16k miles, wasted top and dash cracks was abandoned outdoors all it's life. Just walk away. Find a 2003 with excellent top and paint, 50K miles, that was garaged, cared for, and well maintained with records. $18,000

Or call me I would let mine go for 7g over nada. I will find another in a couple of weeks and keep the 7g.
