Hi:

Just looking for some advice from Porsche owners/mechanics. Saw this listing on Craigslist (below), an interesting proposition. Would you buy it?

"I have for sale an arctic silver 1997 Porsche Boxster with black leather and black convertible top. This car is not far from excellent condition and runs very well and has always been reliable. I bought this car about 10 rears ago and took it on many cross country road trips. I have never had any serious issues other than the clutch which has recently been replaced. The car has always been well taken care of and has always respectfully driven. There are no dings or dents and the paint is beautiful other than a minor scuff on the front bumper. It has 220,000 miles on it, mostly highway and still runs as strong as it did when I got it. The car has recently been gone through, serviced and I just put a new set of tires on it. I am asking $6,750.oo cash only no trades. There is plenty of fun left in this car and is a great car for the money! If you are interested feel free to contact me with any questions. "
