Adam, first congrats on the new Boxster, hope you are enjoying it...post pics! I think they question I would ask is would it have mattered to you if the stamps yearly were from a good Indy...I bought a 2000 'S' in Nov and was happy to see the Indy receipts along side the dealers...in fact I trusted there work more and took the car back to them for something I couldn't do myself. I actually would be totally happy to see maintenance records done by the owner if they seemed competent. Maybe the general public thinks the dealer stamp is so important but in general someone buying one of these cars probably doesn't...who knows. Stop by and meet the indy and see if they have a clean shop, are happy to meet you and show interest in doing work for you...that's what I did.
