Thoughts on this Boxster

Went to have a look at this today

Seemed ok and seems a good price. It has sports chrono package.
The only things that put me off is that it has only had two services,and the second one of those was by an Infniti dealership who was selling it. The other thing is that it doesn't have Bose, is this essential? What is the standard music system like?

Yes the last service was done by the selling garage but it shows in the service book that they didn't change the spark plugs.The Citroen dealership who are selling it want to do the service when it is sold which I am not that keen of. They have agreed in principal for me to take it to a Porsche specialist to have an inspection done before purchase.

Hi Rich,
what do you mean by stars? what is the mileage on your car? Is it newer?
Not mega bothered by residuals as I usually keep cars for ages.

I have asked Porsche Glasgow (the original supplying dealer)to e-mail me info on it as it doesn't mention the sports chrono pack in the advert which it has. I also thought it had PSE button but could be wrong.

Got the spec from Porsche Glasgow.
342 heated seats
403 19 inch Carrera S wheels (I'm sure here are 18's on it now, which I would prefer anyway)
435 Sports steering wheel leather
475 PASM
490 Sound package plus
551 Wind deflector
567 Top tinted windscreen
573 Automatic air con
584 Storage box
635 Park assist
639 Sports chrono
692 Cd changer
810 Floor mats
P77 Sports seats
Does anyone have any views if its well specced. Seems ok to me.

I'd suggest casting your net a bit further than 3 miles from your house. There are lots of cars available.

I'd add a little extra and get a Gen 2 car.

Good thinking. I'll save up a bit more see what's about.
