Ticking noise from engine

[mikefocke]

First tactic in negotiating: Cause the seller to have doubt as to the worth of his item relative to his asking price or the norm. Cause the seller to accept a low offer out of fear or doubt.

Remember this was a salesperson speaking.

Tell the salesman that the ticking he hears are your shoes walking away from this deal.

If he made you an offer and you appear to be happy with the numbers, why are you not pushing that deal?

He walked away from the deal saying he had to refund customers with similar issue on other Boxsters. I think he is just making up an excuse. They specialise in Porsche. Every 986,996 has this as a potential problem, though statistically it’s over stated. The percentages of cars affected by this is very small for those with the double row bearing and even for those with the single row, it’s smaller than the poll here suggests. That’s based upon the data presented at the class action legal case.

That particular used car lot doesn't want your Boxster, get over it. Take it around to the local dealers and an Indy repair shop and see what they say. Sounds to me like the car salesman was being overly cautious.

Or keep it. Sounds like a dandy car.

That particular used car lot is my local Porsche Indy dealer/Garage. It’s why I posted the question because his comment surprised me.

The car is fine but it has to go. I need something to tow a trailer with.
