That is why I have trouble selling a car with this situation. I am honest to a fault and will get my Box professionally fixed.

In your case I can think of nothing worse than buying a Boxster and a week later you have an engine failure. Like I said knowledge is very important.

So I went to see the car this morning, and when I turn the key, the Check light does not come on? Seller says that he never noticed that before!! Should I now be running for the hills?
