I sent the ad poster an email asking to see the car, since I live in the Chicago area and "know" the car, plus it's history from the forums. I also stated the Boxster community knows the car well, since the prior owner was an active online member.

We'll see if I get any response in return...(won't hold my breath).

yeah, i dont mind someone selling it, drove it, enjoyed it, and now wants to sell it, fine.
but saying that its something that its not and falsifying miles on it is pretty much robbery.

I was told by the dealers (could be worthless) that you can only change the mileage on a new cluster and only once. It comes from the manufacturer in an "imprint" mode if you will.

YES! That's what they say.

They also say that you cannot add the OBC w/o buying the whole option something like $600 - they were misleading here too.

Cheers!
