Default Boxster Advice

2003 seems to be the year (facelift models) he's looking at.

What are the things to look out for, use as bargaining tools, etc.

Most importantly how does one go about getting a Porsche extended warranty?

No discussions about Porsches on this thread please apart from responses to the above and any other specific questions I have.

If a car is outside of warranty OR being sold by a independant dealer to renew the warranty it will need to undergo a 111 point check at an OPC.

This will cost around

There are several board members here that have owned boxsters. I value their opinions. That's why it's posted here.

Give this lot a call.

If it were me I would take the car to them for an inspection or ask them to vist when your mate goes to take a look.

They used to be G-Force motorsports and have a great reputation.

Family stuff....so the usual.

Where's SC Porsche now Jason? It used to be on Chester Rd, where the Maser/Fezza garage is now.

It's where I test drove a boxster for the first time and was put off by the sales rep.
