Is this a good deal?

First post on here, please be gentle!

As title, good or just average deal? http://www.paragongb.com/cars/Porsche+Boxster+X836...

Thanks in advance.

It looks a good example but a bit expensive IMO, personally I'd buy one with about 50-60k on it for about 7k

[VonSenger]

Jesus, now that's optimistic pricing. An S roughly 6-8k. You'd be mad to purchase it at that price!!

Buy it, Paragon's cars are top notch!!! There is some cheap and nasty tat Boxster's out there, i know ive looked.

That would need to be astounding at that price, you could buy 2 at that price!!

[craigjm]

That is overpriced by at least 3-4k

In comparison to this in GREEN with GREY i think not. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1836768.htm

I'd say buy it if you like it and feels right. There's few indies I would trust to buy a car from and have at least a year of trouble free motoring from. ......... These guys come across as one of them.

You are paying for reassurance and peace of mind. Of course you could find a similar vintage car for 4k less, but it might be a hound, who knows. Paragon only retail proper honest cars and they spend whatever is necessary to bring them up to their required standards. I have bought and sold to them, and they look after a couple of our cars. Always faultless, if its worth paying a premium to anyone, i would to those guys.

Do Paragon move on the screen price at all ?

[VonSenger]

I'd rather get an S pocket the change as an insurance/warranty policy. Of course its your choice but honestly you'd have to be scared of your own shadow to need that much reassurance.

Staggeringly overpriced for a 2.7. Also concur that 40k+ on a Boxster is a good thing, certainly seems that way from the research I did on Boxsta.net prior to getting mine.

Do you work there??
How can you advise buying an overpriced car that you haven't even seen, purely on the basis that you believe the seller to be a decent outfit?

I've looked at a couple of Paragon's cars over the years

They are expensive but absolutely spotless, I looked at a 996 C2 there a year or so ago, was 3-4k over a similar private car which seams a lot until I looked at the car, it had just been serviced, had all new brakes, new tyres and not a mark on the bodywork anywhere in addition to that it came with 12 months warranty which started make sense.

I ended up doing a complete U turn and going for a CSL but If they had a GT3 with a spec I liked in I'd be very tempted to use them even if they were a little more expensive.

Thank you for all your comments, based on what you have said I think i'll wait until a 3.2 comes along at about 10k

There seem to be a few out there at the moment e.g..
