Hey guys. Hope you dont mind these questions.. I may be a first time porsche owner next week. Going to see a 2010 boxster S with 19,800 miles. 6 speed manual.
It wont be a garage queen but I'll have a daily run around car as well. Let's say 8-10k miles a year usage probably.. anyways, seller says he has all records and it was bought at 4k miles as a CPO car. He says the top mechanism stripped gears on one side and he would recomend converting it to manual DIY since the dealer quoted him 2300 bucks. (I guess some people have done this?) Other than that, he says its sound.
What should I look out for? I keep reading how these cars are pretty damn reliable but are there any tell tale signs to run away when i see it/drive it? Given the location of the seller, i probably wont have a way to have it PPI'd but he has made day trips up to a porsche dealer for servicing. I've never bought a car with a PPI cause I was always a Honda/miata guy and fixing something never scared me but this is all so new to me with a Porsche.
Thanks for any insight!
