It looks like the OP (RaisedOnPorsches) has a big itch which he's determined to scratch one way or another.
As I see it, he has a perfectly good early Boxster which he has sunk a fair bit of money into it with all the usual maintenance wear points addressed (IMS, clutch, water pump, etc, etc), plus the car seems to be very reliable and paid for. OK so theres some cosmetics to be sorted out, but I just can't see the logic in selling an 88k mile car (in winter) and then taking out a loan to buy a 2004 SE with 110k miles which will probably need all the maintenance wear points attended to sooner rather than later. And remember it hasn't got any repair records either, plus the IMS bearing cannot be removed without great expense......

But itches are very hard to get rid of, and each person has his own tolerance to them. But theres nothing worse to suffer from Buyers Remorse a week after committing yourself to a loan repayment and an ailing Porsche....

coreseller....
A fine pair if ever I saw one - but please, please tell your gardener to lift his game. Theres leaves all over the pathways which is just not acceptable.
