Hi all,

I am contemplating buying a 1999 Boxster base. Test drove it today and noticed a few issues.

There is wind/whistle from the passenger side roof. I think it is a seal around the roof or windshield. Is this an easy fix?

The clutch pedal is......too much "center". What I mean is that, well, it is pretty much almost too much to the right, I.e. Not positioned in a way that it is comfortable for me to depress it. Is this normal?p to Porsches? This is the first Porsche I ever drove. In most cars, it is well to the left and there is space between the clutch and brakes. I could draw a line strait down the center of the steering wheel and the clutch pedal would be almost there. It seemed I had so be a little sideways to use the pedals.

Beside that, it is an amazing car and comes from the premier Porsche mechanics in Ottawa, Canada. They come well recommended by all.
