From 2009 on, just take it to the dealer. Early cars you need proof of ims replacement. From 2005 - 2008 no one can give you a solid guarantee. I would want $5000 off retail just to consider those cars - both Boxster and Caymans. They will (have) the mid year 911 price blues. I am a Boxster Fan - just after 2009!

It's a 2010 Boxster S with PDK, so Ims is not a worry. It was basically to take a look at the state of the paint condition and a general visual check to make sure everything is as advertised before I fly over to drive and bring the car in for an inspection at an independent shop. I tend to really take care of my cars and a I only want to buy the same. This one has less than 30,000 kilos and appears to be in great shape, but it's difficult to tell the difference of a scratch/dent from a reflection in pictures. The only caveat is that he did drive it some in the winter, on non-snow days when roads were clear. I would prefer no winter driving but it does look very well looked after.
Thanks recycled and 2por, very much appreciated.
