Opinion on 2002 Boxster

KBB shows retail at $19.5 with that mileage and tiptronic, but that seems high to me. I would be concerned about the IMS and would question the dealer about that and if they have the maintenance history.

Otherwise, looks great in pictures.

The price seems competitive from what I've seen. Dealer is a small dealer and has no service records. Supposedly a 1 owner car but I have not yet pulled the Carfax to verify.

On the IMS the Porsche specialist I am using for the PPI said he's never seen one break before which I found interesting and positive.

The car looks great so eager to see how the PPI goes.

kwadublin, the car does look great. However, if your indy says he has never seen an ims bearing failure, then one has to wonder about his level of experience. Afterall, the numbers released by Porsche in the course of the class action suit indicated that between 8-10% of the single-row bearing cars suffered failures - and those numbers, of course, only refer to the ones that were brought into Porsche dealerships or for which a claim was made.
