Hello,

I am in the market for a used Boxster.

In my pursuit of finding the perfect vehicle, I came across the following listing on eBay for a 1997 Boxster being sold by a Virginia Jeep dealer:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1997-PORSCHE-BOXSTER-TIPTRONIC-SPORT-PKG_W0QQitemZ120135462784QQihZ002QQcategoryZ6015QQ ssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Within the listing, there is a link to the free CarFax report.

What concerns me is that in May of 02, May of 03, May of 06 and March of 07 the steering/suspension was apparently lubed.

Is this a cause for concern and possibly indicative of potential significant problem?

Are there any other red flags that jump out either in the listing or CarFax report?

Thanks for the help and I look forward to being a regular contributer here shortly.
