Default 2016 BGTS

Would like to hear from those with experience. I want to know if I should, or should not, purchase a 2016 Boxster GTS from an Audi dealer. It still has about 1.5 years left on original factory warranty. Was a leased vehicle, and has about 8,000 miles on it now. Shows only the recent service and oil change, with no other service records. I would love to have a 981 GTS, and the price is suitable, but I'm concerned. Should I be? And I realize it's my decision in the end, but I would appreciate information from those who have been done this road. I don't own a Porsche at this time but have in the past. Signed up here to ask this question

Thanks for your time

Robert

If the car is in good shape and a PPI comes out clean, why not buy it from an Audi dealer if the price is right? (get the PPI)
If you're worried re: warranty, aftermarket is an option for peace of mind.
What's your concern? the Dealership or lack of records for a lightly used car?

Yup. Get the PPI. If all is well you are going to be so happy!

Whatever you do don't test drive it. Once you do you'll never want to stop driving it. That is what happened to me. It is a great car. But as others have said get a ppi.

Unless you are the lucky one who purchased it, that car has sold. I sent an inquiry today and got the news it's already gone.
