culXXi,
I have a Boxster S almost identical to the one you are salivating over.
Please ignore the shiny paint and verbage. The important issues are beneath the skin.
Get a PPI from a competent ,honest Indie. Ask here for a referral.
The buy-in price is not very relevant for M96 cars. The stay-in cost is what matters. Only a PPI can help you for that.Just my experience.

^^^ +1 What Gelbster said. Great advice. ^^^

But we all know how impossible it is to ignore the sparkling paint, the curvaceous body, and the sweet sound of the flat-six!

Its like the Lorelei; you walk in, fall in love, and are ready to start writing the check - I'll worry about the IMS later....

Well right now it is pending sale. Somebody beat me to it but the sales guy I spoke too said he would give me a call if the sale fell through. In my head I'm thinking if the sale falls through what did they find wrong with it. Thanks for the offers of help and advice. I'll keep looking and following the forum.

Sales can fall thru for multiple reasons besides a mechanical issue - lack of financing, or most importantly wifey says NO to a 2 seater sports car. (I don't have experience with the last one, but I've heard stories.)
