Hey, man from uncle, get this, there is no more production of Boxsters!!One must either buy new off current stock, used or wait till June launch in Sardinia Italy of the new car which I was just told has: engine moved more to the center, is wider and two inches longer.

you think Porsche could update their website instead of letting you jerk yourself a soda for six hours configuring what doesn't exist?

One of the major downsides to the 355 is that in order to do the 3 year/15,000 mile cam belt service, the engine has to be completely removed .

The company will typically do a full visual inspection, check for engine error codes, perform a test drive, and provide lots of pictures. You can also talk to the inspector to get his impressions of the car and answer any particular questions that the report may not have addressed. The cost is around $250-$400.

Then you can use the report to decide whether to buy or not. I have decided not to buy several cars once I got the report. You can also use the report in your negotiations to justify why you're offering a lower price.

Check out the notes and the repoted cost of the engine out. I love the F355, and for $45k, it's right at the market average, but regular maintanence is half the value of the car!
