Oil Change on 2000 Boxster
As far as I can tell, the car had been getting regular oil changes, the oil was very clean when I checked it. The first owner sold the car when it had 31K on it and never did the 30K service. The second owner thought the 30K service was done, so it looks like she just did oil changes. I asked the Porsche mechanic that was checking the car over what he thought about that history, and he said he thought it would be fine. The engine was nice and dry with no leaks, no error codes and the car seems to run great. Time will tell.
It really was an education in car dealers. The BMW dealer that I bought it from said he knew the last owner, a worman, that had the car for the last two years. And even though there was no paperwork, he swore that the woman did all the regular service intervals on the car. She lived in Virginia Beach and I called the Porsche dealership there, they had never seen the car. Somehow I thought a BMW dealership would be more responsible.
