All of the cautions are reasonable.

Still the car is practically new in mileage. If mileage is a factor, wear should be practically non existent. Things do deteriorate with age, but it's worth throwing $400 for a PPI to get an idea about the car's health and find out what the deal is with the brakes. Most of the brakes are quite suitable for DIY.

And in our local market, the price is quite good. The headlights can be polished. The clearcoat?--oh well stuff happens.

If I were looking for a Boxster, I'd probably buy it. $6 grand means small or nonexistent car payments.
