Hi there,

I'm looking at potentially buying at 2011 black edition, 50k miles tomorrow.

MOT in October (no advisory), last service 2.5 years ago (negotiated price down to cover cost) but was the full service rather than intermediary and only done 2k miles since. It is the PDK version. It is a private sale.

Anything I should look out for? I have only ever bought from a dealer before.

There is another Boxster I can get from a dealer - in manual, same year, 32k miles - in red (so not limited edition) for 1k more, but it's from a dealer and comes with warranty (6 months).

The benefit of the black edition is it's 6 miles away - the other is much further but they can deliver at a cost.

What do you think? If you had the choice what do you think you would do? Is the black edition (think it has the Spyder engine?) worth the lack of dealership etc?

Advice appreciated!
