Hello Guys & Gals,
I live in Sacramento Ca. I have been looking for a well kept / serviced 986 boxter tip. Yeah, tip. Have bad right knee. I have looked at many within a reasonable distance. Good shape physically and low to mid level miles. Yeah, forums recommend PPI. Well, both private parties and dealers don't want for car to have PPI. Geez. Frustrating. So I looked online to see what is out there. I came across a shop that is in Florida that has certified Porsche mechanics and also they go through cars and sell them also. Car I am looking at is a 99 base boxter with 76,000 miles on it, one owner car with tip. Car has had the following:
1.Brand new Michelin cup tires all around.
2.Recent oil change.
3.New engine mount.
4.New convertible top with glass window.
4.58,000, new drive belt installed.
Recent had 34 point inspection, no oil leak, water leaks, drive belt checked, etc. Would like to mention shop name but don't want to break forum rules. Shop has great reviews all around.
I put a $500.00 refundable deposit on it. Waiting for my check from car insurance due to total lose of my 87 vette. Should I do it? Read Pelican parts forum, getting scared, nervous with all these boxter issues. Help me make a good decision. Ger.
