While I'm on the subject of searching for a car - can I get some opinions on something I'm finding frequently with cars in the '00-'04 range? It seems a lot of these cars have been owned by 2 or in many case 3 different owners. That seems a bit odd to me. Can anyone provide some insight into why Boxsters change hands so frequently? And more importantly should this raise concerns about a car?
Something else I find a bit odd is that a majority of the cars I'm finding are being sold by (non-Porsche) dealers - who coincidently are asking several thousand more than individual sellers. None of them have service histories on the car and based on the descriptions they list (e.g. 'V6 engine') know little to nothing about what they're selling. What's the general consensus in situations like this? Is there a recommended method of dealing with Dodge dealer that took a Boxster in on trade? Is there a 'safe' way to buy a car from these guys?
