PPI Done = Epic fail !

The ironic part is hearing from the seller tonight. He said he went over inspection with
The shop and was "very satisfied" with the findings ! Holy smokes. He must be delusional
He hadn't cleaned out the debris in front of radiator for years !! Never mind things / repairs & maintainence
Yes , it was a lesson for me - got schooled today. Funny when you pay for this $$
It won't be forgotten. I may not be very tech / mech savvy but I sure can do a better job inspecting overall condition , check all regular functions Windows ,top,switches ,gauges ,lights ,horn etc... I'm taking this as a challenge !
The gauntlet has been thrown

It's funny how as an owner/seller it is possible to gloss over rather serious issues. If it's that perfect, he should be keeping the car instead of selling.
There are lots of Boxsters for sale... the thing is to find one that fits your requirements, not the seller's.
Good luck in your search.

My budget is tight (daughters wedding is approaching ). I allocated 10k for boxster.
After looking at what's around. I can see 10k will grow to 13 or 14.

It'd be nice to find a well kept ,correct car with reasonable miles Not looking for perfect Just a good solid maintained vehicle

The fact that the PPI caught the bad window regulator paid for itself with just that repair. If you have a copy of the report, you can use it to help QC the next car until you find your true love, I mean car. Happy hunting.

Bought a 2003 Boxster last month with 19k and original tires still on it and tread looked good for another 20k. After post PPI walk through with shop owner. He pointed out tire manufacture date was 2002. Tires were 14 yrs from birth and 13 from sale date. On much closer look I could see cracks and dry rotting.

I would definitely change all tires as soon as possible. Like before the next time you drove it, except while nursing the Box to the tire shop.

Just sayin'.....
