How Much Should Damage History Affect Value? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Did the seller state why he/she is getting rid of the car after only 15 months? The short term ownership would bother me more than the accident 10 years ago.

When I was looking to buy mine I stayed away from ones where someone owned it for a year and was selling or one that had 5 owners.

If the owner who had the accident kept and drove the car for an additional ~9 years, that accident probably didn't destroy it as a good driver. But I would want a new PPI to ensure there isn't a new, major issue causing the seller to bail on the car.

The guy got the Porsche bug and just bought a 911. Doesn't need/want the Boxster anymore. And I spoke to the local PCA club, and they know the guy and confirmed that.
