I have a 98 Box which I bought last year with 112K on it. Do not buy the car under any circumstances without taking it to a reputable shop or Porsche for a full pre-purchase inspection - which must include plugging the car into their computer. You will then get a full read-out of all fault codes (if any) and you will then be able to adjust the price based upon the work involved.

I love my car - but boy - if I knew then what I know now............................

Do your homework and good luck!

PS - If I had to do it over - I would definately buy a low mileage car and pay a few bucks more!
