Car could be perfect or plagued with problems. Parts are expensive.

Best advice: get a complete pre-purchase inspection (PPI) by someone who is knowledgeable about Boxsters and has a diagnostic computer capable for reading all possible trouble codes. If the car has a clean PPI, buy it.

Thats great advice, ill make sure to do that. The owner claims that it is in great mechanical condition. He says that it has been stationary because the road tax is too expensive to own(road tax, insurance,service, etc.) which should be right because he hasn't payed the road tax for two years!
Do you suggest i go to the dealer or can my mechanic check it out? i dont think he has had much experience with the boxster, he is the main dealer for APR though and a friend.
Should i trust him or am i better off asking the Porsche dealer to check it out for me.
