Suggestions for looking over car
Hi everyone, it’s been a long tine since I’ve been on the board. Friend just bought 99 Boxster with 91k on it. Pretty far from home so no Ppi possible. I went with him to look over. Drove straight, sounded great, tight car. I check the coolant for oil, the gas cap for sludge, tried removing oil cap while running. All looked good. The one concerning thing was coolant level was low. I mentioned radiators possibly leaking or worse but I saw zero signs of anything. The shop topped off and bought car and drove home about 100 miles. Temp was peg at approx 182 the whole way.Ran great, drove again today again with no issues. Coolant level held.
I want to change his oil this week and check the filter and hopefully I can get my durametric on it to check cam deviations. His car might be #4 so it might not work.
Anything else I should check? I’m not scoping cylinders or dropping the oil pan.
What else can I do?
Guy had no receipts but claimed IMs and water pump were done. Not sure I believe him.
Thanks, David
