Ok, not really a 914 topic, but...
Looking for something more reliable than my 50 year old 914, I'm toying with the idea of buying a Boxster. I have found one in LA that catches my fancy, but it's at a somewhat old school used car dealer in Corona, CA. Can't take it out for a pre-purchase inspection, can only test drive it over their designated route, etc. Not a very user friendly place. All those are red flags, but I'm not writing it off yet.
I'm in the San Francisco area. Before I fly down to look at this thing, I was hoping to find someone local to Corona that could at least check it out for me, test drive it, tell me what you think of it. Anyone out there interested? If so, you can contact me directly at a.g.blyholder@gmail.com.
Thanks,
Andrew B.
Well, before you do that do they have any service records or past owners names. What year is it and has it had a IMS replacement. If you can't get that kind of information I think I would keep looking.
Walk away man. It's a boxter. If they won't allow a PPI, there is a reason.
Tons of Boxsters out there. If this dealership will not permit a PPI at a reputable local shop, there is something wrong. Not worth the gamble. Find an owner/seller car and get all of the information right from them. Good luck with the hunt.
Not sure of your budget, but '09 models took a giant leap forward and that would be my target range.
Several years ago I was somewhat in the market for a Boxter. Great, they can be had on the cheap, but full of electronics, IMS, ... and the seller is not willing to offer a PPI?
Run Will Run
I have a B-in-L whom I found and purchased an '09 Boxster S, PDK, Macadamia Brown with brown interior, 1-owner, non-smoker, low mileage car for. The deal was when it came time for him to part with it, I would get first right of refusal. I really liked that car for a DD. Then he moved to Montana- God knows what that car looks like now. Bummer.
