I've been looking at a Boxster S for sale and although the car looks and drives excellent it doesn't have full Porsche Main dealer history. It is on 89,000 miles.

From 20k miles it has been serviced solely by Bob Watson Porsche (9 stamps). The services have all been marked as major nad minor as per schedule.

Would this put anyone off buying it?

If they've been done as per schedule and you have the invoices as proof then absolutely not!

No invoices, just dated and signed stamps in the service book.

If the stamps are from a reputable Indy (and there are a few about) I certainly wouldn't have a problem with that history.

Cool. Car drives brilliantly (better than I was lead to believe a Boxster would) and I really want to get it yes

Anyone who says Boxsters aren't a brilliant drive has never driven one.

Bob Watson probably knows more about Porsche's than most OPC's.

Go for it, you won't be disappointed!

Wouldn't put me off, but still would have it fully inspected.

How much are you paying for it??? if you are paying top price, then expect top service history, however, if it is a bargain ( there are a lot out there ) then don't worry, get it, enjoy it, don't worry about it.
Oh, and by the way, the Boxster is a top car.

I'd much prefer a reputable Indy stamp than an OPC one
