appreciate all the answers guys. This forum is truly amazing,
I hope that one day I will be able to return the same good advice you gave me, to another newbie.
After I got plenty of info on the good and bad in owning a boxster
I signed up to the PCA test drive, and they connected me to the top independent Porche mechanic in the area.
I went to visit him, we had a nice chat and he gave me costs for all the big repairs/replacements.
I also asked him to help me find one, so far nothing.
Having so much information on the boxster is a blessing and a curse.
I got some sellers pissed, they just want to dump their cars on the next Porsche enthusiast
w/o participating in the cost of any repair, but since I got educated I know what to look for.
so I decided to also look for cars in other states.
I actually got in-touch with a guy owning 3 Porsche's so I think
he's a real enthusiast which is good, and his car has all the big things fixed.
So now I have to learn how to buy a car in another state,
so have to figure out the best way of doing it remotely.
(ppi is a must, I would not pass on that even with a local seller).
As for DIY, I never did anything, but am a good learner and not afraid of challenges,
if folks can change their oil, brake fluid/pads so can I,
something bigger I go to the expert (if you want to play you have to pay)
so that's it, again, thank you very much and I wish everyone here stay safe and warm in this storm.
