I spoke to somebody out of my area w/ a 00 Boxster w/ 44 293 miles FS. The car has even compression and passed a leakdown test. However, there are 2 issues w/ the car which sound like common problems:
1) The catallitic converter(s) need to be replaced (seller said that it might be a recall)
2) There is an oil leak from the valve cover

My question is; are these things easily fixable by a DIYer who has vast experience on hondas and has access to air tools?

PS: it also needs new brake pads all around along w/ rear rotors (that is a 2hr job for me).
