Boxster S advice
Hi guys.. Time for a car change and building an extension prohibits what i really want which is the step up to 911.. Looking at a colleague's 2005 Boxster S tonight which I will only have to pay trade-in price for.. about £11500 which is a bargain I think!
No flaming please.. I know I'll miss the S!
Quite high miles.. 77k.. But they're motorway miles and it's been well maintained by Jon Mitchell indie down here who are very well respected.. I only do low miles so high miles will even out before I sell it.
It's got some good kit.. Bose, satnav/phone, 19" alloys, sports seats which will be nice.
Anyone know what I should worry about?
Cheers
Simon

me finding out where your colleague lives and beating you to it.....
£11500!!! is that a keyboard error?!?!
Is this a 987 Boxster? I would bite his arm off.
Even if only to drive it for a week and then sell on for a serious profit.

11500?
For a Boxster 987 with BOSE/19inch?
3.2S engine and FSH?
Be careful of the IMS (check the history ) and to a lesser extent the RMS.
Google is your friend.
If you dont take it i will.
Just pm me.

Yup 987.. That's what I thought.. Might even SORN the S and leave it in the garage.
Hairdesser jokes till the summer then sell it when the sun comes out, for a profit!
Or keep it if I like it.

I'm guessing that's what they are.. They look similar so I will ask.
It's not cat anything! He's part exing against an Aston Martin and they've offered him £11k p-ex, presumably expecting to spend some money on it to get it up to dealer condition and then make 3 grand or so. He can't be arsed to sell it himself so I'll get it for a little bit more for the trouble.. Sounds good to me!
Partly time of year as well!
