Buying Advice - It was winter driven

[PaulE]

Before you commit to the PPI, can the seller get the car on a lift and take pictures of the underside and send them to you? I assume this is somewhere in Canada where the snow/salt/sand is pretty much a winter-long thing? I drive my Boxster in the winter when the roads are clear, but that happens pretty often in New Jersey. I don't have any rust issues after 15 years. But winters are more severe elsewhere.

Yes, it is in Canada, but the area is fairly dry so the amount of snow and therefore salt is not as great as other parts of Canada. Sand is a bit more of an issue, but the car has 3M plastic coat to protect it. A picture is a good idea.

Boxsters/Caymans are not famous for rust issues other than some bolts on the exhaust. Provided it has never been hit and you can get a paint thickness test to test a respray.
