Your advice on a 2001 Boxster for $20k

So, good deal overall if PPI comes back good?

Hey Paul, thanks for the quick reply. Yes, the car is in unbelievable shape... true to my words. Based on what I was quoted, Paul Miller to do the pads will cost $534 before taxes so its looking like a $600 job tops. The roters should be fine, so I'm basing this on just replacing the pads in front and the rear as well as the sensors which will need to be changed along with the pads.

Its got about 3 - 6K miles to go before the light sensor goes off....could be a little more or less.

I would agree to split the cost, but the truth is that I put $6500 into it in the last 6 months to re-furbish it to its original condition and selling it for less would cost me a loss on the car.

I'm really just looking to break even which 20,000 allows me to do that.

I hope you understand.

Keep me posted.

Get the PPI; sounds like a good deal to me. For what it's worth I just paid 20k for a 1999 with 22.5k miles on it.

If you've got even a small amount of tools and are slightly mechanically inclined, you could slap the pads and sensors on yourself with very little effort. You'd save about $350, too.

Car does sound nice.

If the PPI comes back clean, I'd jump on it. And the brake job is a snap...an hour to 1 1/2 tops if you've never done one before. And you CAN do it. Its got fairly new tires, a new rear window, battery, and a few other things. It sounds like a good deal to me. When you see it in person and if its as nice as presented, get the PPI and go for it.

BTW.. those are probably the smallest pictures I've seen.. hard to tell much about it from them

I know, but they are big when I open them on my computer. I want you guys to see them large, especially the new window. Maybe you can cut and paste them into your photo software and reopen them?

So, with 46k miles on it, does it just need brake pads or more expensive brake work?
