How mechanically inclined are you?
Do you have an OPC (official Porsche Centre) or independant Porsche garage in Nicosia?
How was the car stored - under cover or in the hot Cyprus sun and wind?
How much money are you willing to spend...?

Being stood stationary for 2 years is possibly not the problem, but why it's been stationary could be. If you have no experience in resurrecting cars like the Boxster, I would start looking for a Porsche specialist on the island and see what advise they can give you.

Personally I wouldn't buy the car untill I had a good idea why its been stationary for such a long time - it could be an easy fix, but it could also be a money pit.....

We have an official Porsche center, ill have to see if we have an independant specialist too, the car has been sitting in an apartment building's covered parking space, the owner says that it has been there because of high costs and due to the fact that he visits CY occasionally and doesnt live here anymore, which is about right since he hasn't payed any of the road taxes for the past two years. So i guess first step: talk to specialist

Thanks a lot!
BTW Steve, like ur taste! Used to have the exact same Agusta as ur SIG in red/silver with gold wheels!
That thing really satands out!!
