Don't pretend to know the OKC market.

First dealer is being a typical just-want-to-sell-it dealer.

Buying a used car that is 14 years old, I expect to put money into it to bring it up to my standards. I spent more than $3k on a 38k miles car and that was on a fewer years old car.

Second car you got a good PPI. But to me, the car starts out vastly overpriced. Boxsters aren't 911s. Especially considering the service history, I agree the IMS is a certainty on that car. Tires too and what amount to a 90k service.

I prefer buying from motivated sellers where I understand their motivation. My first was no room in the garage and rugrats. Second needed a 4 door for customers and there was snow on the ground.

Keep looking, there must be a thousand for sale now and will only be more as the winter sets in.
