Just bought my(wife her) first P-car after bailing out of my Defender-90. This thing is incredible!! Wife picked me up at the airport last night & I was all twitchy waiting to see it. Here are the stats:
1999 Arctic Silver/grey leather that is absolutely perfect
33k miles
sport package, heated seats, hifi, CD220
Bought it from the original owner, a doc who ordered it new in '99(it's going from a single doctor-owned car to a 2nd owner woman-doctor-owned car...should help us with the resale
)
Has prolly the most complete documentation of any car I've ever bought, every service record & receipt is there, and every magazine article on the Boxster from 1996-1998(makes for great reading) leading up to his decs. to purchase.
AND, had a new motor put in w/10k miles in 11/99, which was pretty interesting. If anyone wants, I'll type up the tech comments on the engine failure, from what I remember cylinder 1&3 grenaded. The car's engine is actually still under warranty, the documentation from PCNA (apology letter, Certificte of Authenticity) states the the warranty on the engine internals expires 2yrs/unlimited miles after the 4yr & 50k expires, which is right around Sept/Oct 2005.
Here's an oddball question though...it was mentioned in passing by the seller (who's had 4-5 other Pcars)that the motor Porsche put into the car was "more powerful than the one they took out"...I tend to be somewhat skeptical of this, anyone have any input?
Thanks
