Definitely get a PPI. Then use the full info from it to negotiate price hard.

A Boxster is one of the easiest vehicle to wrench on. That said, and even though it's a 13 almost 14 yo vehicle, many parts are priced like it's a brand new $60k Boxster. FWIW, replacing condensers is easy w/ simple removal of bumper skin.

Good luck but don't be afraid to move on as there are countless nice Boxsters out there for sale.

Don't wonder whether they would replace an item like the IMS ask them and if it's yes get it in writing. I disagree with Boxster being an easy car to wrench on. That is totally dependent on what's wrong with it. Rebuilding an engine with quad camshafts, variable valve timing and in some cases five chains is not a small block V8 job.

PS It looks nice but my roller would have looked just as nice parked in tandem, with 29K on the clock, remember that
