Smile 987S Buying Advice?

Hello AllBoxsterFans,

My father is thinking about buying this car and I am going to have a look at it for him this weekend, can anyone give me any advice, do you think this a good buy? Anything I need to check?

1. Basically is this good value for money?

Too much is different from the UK to the US so there's little I can tell you. You might try http://boxa.net/forum/ which is a UK based Boxster forum. They can definitely tell you whther its a good value or not.

1. The sales guy did mention that the rear tyres would need replacing soon, any idea how much 2 rear tyres cost on a 987?

2. I am thinking of going in at 19K would this be taking the p*ss?

3. What is a good price for this car? or what should i expect to get for 22K?

Its not a US exclusive forum but i think many of the regular posters are from the US. Rear tires cost about $300 each

i doubt it has lsd - there are a lot of options but half the items are fairly standard on the S.

check when it went into service so you can ID the warranty lifeline
