There are many attractively priced Boxsters. But how many of them are mechanically sound?
Without a PPI we'll never know. This issue is much more important for the M96 engined cars. why? Because of the higher cost and incidence of expensive engine repairs than alternative vehicles.
So whatever you do, get a PPI by a competent Indie before you buy a beautiful money pit. And meanwhile ,read the Threads that include the word "Roller" for a different perspective on prices :-)
