Good price for a 2008 boxster?
Hi, all. I am new for this form, I bought a 2008 Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned Boxster with 47000 miles, it is one owner car. I got 30K out door. It is 5-sp manual with bose speakers. Sounds good? Anything I need to take look before I sign the paper? Thanks.

Did you get a PPI from another dealer or Indy ? So did you buy it or still looking at it .... confused. The price seems to be good. I'm sure others will chime in soon. Do you have a link to the car ?

I am in california, the car are expensive here, and the tax is higher. I got 30k included tax and everything. Sounds good? Anything I need to check before I sign for it? I havent test drive the car yet.

OK, didn't know you were in CA. For a CA car with taxes and all fees included, that's a great deal. Not sure what can be done since you've already paid for it, but I'd check that the convertible top works, rear spoiler, that it's not pulling to one side during driving and braking, brakes work well, no banging noises from the rear, etc.

And then immedietly buy the Porsche Sports Exhaust that is listed for sale a few threads down on this forum. It's a very good deal and a great upgrade.

It is just a used car so give it a thorough used car check out. In spite of the CPO assume nothing works until you verify it works.
A CPO doesn't mean there's no chance of anything amiss or there are not issues about to happen. Example: As long as the brakes are not worn to the point of needing replacement the car can still be CPO'd. A thousand miles down the road and the brake wear light comes on and that is your problem.
Still sticking with the brake example, if you (or a PPI) spot the brakes are worn down to close to needing replacement you can factor this into your offer, lowering your offer some.
Same applies to tires, or services the car needs. Oil/filter, brake fluid flush/bleed, plugs, engine and cabin air filters, alignment, etc.
Have the seller take you on a 15 mile test ride then back at the starting place you drive the car over the same route and drive the car the same way.
After the test ride and drive then you have the car PPI'd. Among other benefits is the test ride/drive during which the engine runs an hour or so and the car is used, driven, give any leaks a chance to show themselves.
