JM,

Quite clearly, you're very experienced with used Porsche's and do a lot of major work on them. I'm not in that position at all. I've bought many used cars in my life and never did a PPI on any...

Do you think you'd want a bodywork man to look at it, or would a Porsche shop doing a PPI be more than adequate?



Thanks, Mike. The hunt is part of the fun of it. And yes, I'll choose wisely.

Mike, the big difference there is that you know exactly what happened. This one I'm looking at, I don't know what happened, and my Seller doesn't know what happened. All we both know is that it shows...

The car is almost 2,000 miles away. There are two others local that I'm also looking at. I'm not in a hurry. If it happens this week, fine. If it happens in a month, that's fine too. If it happens in...

The guy got the Porsche bug and just bought a 911. Doesn't need/want the Boxster anymore. And I spoke to the local PCA club, and they know the guy and confirmed that.

TY for the recommendation, but this particular car is in TX, so the PPI will be done there. We're still a little bit apart on price, so it's a "maybe" right now.

Locally, I have a great Porsche...

That's absolutely true. But we can only deal with what we know, not what we don't know. Carfax's limitation is not what they tell you, but what they don't tell you. Carfax doesn't know everything.

Maytag, I think that's excellent advice. I'm ok with buying a car that's had a damage history, some guys would avoid it like the plague. But I wanna make sure that the damage was minor,...

How Much Should Damage History Affect Value?

I'm looking at a Boxster that shows rear end collision on the Carfax. Happened over 10 years ago, not with my Seller, but with the prior owner. Seller says he was told it was a very minor low speed...
