2 pix for you. Weather was ****************ty and all I could do was climb in the car and fire it up. It started right away but I noticed the Check Engine light was on. Hmmm... Anyway the sales guy said he wanted it looked over by the service dept before it was test driven, so maybe next week.

$15k for a 99 with 50k?! Go for it after it passes a PPI. That is about what stripped 97's go for.

Insist on finding out about the check engine light. Make sure the dealer doesn't just clear it. Frankly, I would insist on a PPI by someone other than the selling dealer. These little buggers can get expensive to repair.

Well, a least the service department will have a clue, I still would do a PPI for sure, could be a great deal!

I'm in Park Ridge, Bergen county as well.

If I decide to go ahead with this and get a PPI, do you have anyone you can recommend? Thanks and perhaps I'll be seeing you around the area in a Boxter as well :dance:

Thanks.
Yep. From what i read the cel could be o2 sensors or MAF sensor or both
Also the idiot light on the far left (see pic) was also lit up. What is it for? Looked like it was referring to the trunk or something
