PS - XM and nav antennas

Where did you put each of those? I'm very picky to have a clean look with no exposed cables. I want it to look stock or as close to possible.

dremmel

I'm very handy but the thought of a power tool to do a radio install scares me. What was that needed for? I saw the install kit here as well: http://stores.ebay.com/Euromotorspeed

Nice look

I don't think it's significant either

but for him to tell me he is the only owner questions his integrity yet everything else other than the carfax has checked out. Very strange.

Hi Geoff. How much do you do on your own?

Thanks Geoff. I meant an insulated liner which is an upgrade to the top and heated seats since this car is a NJ car many dealers sell cars with the winter upgrades. This car isn't under warranty any...

Thanks Bob O!

I have to agree with you on everything you said. I have no problem repairing normal wear and tear items, tires, brakes etc. I know a Boxster is a "high maintenance" vehicle. He had the oil changed at...

I agree with you. A few thousand miles per year means it's been a few years since the 30k maintenance. I was also concerned about brakes. How much is the serpentine belt and can I do it myself? Also,...
