Green in either interior or exterior immediately drops 20% off the value of the car in most estimates I've seen.

All prices are local and are what the buyer is willing to pay. Even looking at big sites with lots of listings like cars.com or autotrader.com or craigslist.org you have to understand those are asking prices and no one pays asking. You want to find a good car having driven a half dozen and a motivated seller. Still go there, used advanced search on the first two and enter the car you are looking at and throw out the highs and lows. Then discount about $500-$1000 and you'll get to what you should be paying. But condition is everything as tires are worth $600-$1200 depending, top another $1000 etc.

I had a PPI on my second Boxster and immediately spent $2k but I knew exactly what I was getting into (and it cost me next to nothing the next 5 years). Brakes, rotors, 60k service, alignment. But as someone said the PPI quality does depend on the mechanic...ask to see a previous one the guy did.

Don't buy the first one you see...says he who did twice and had excellent experiences with both Boxsters.
