Buying a used Boxster - is there anything I should watch out for?
I am considering a 2008 Boxster S manual with one owner and full Porsche history. The car has 23000 miles and looks brand new. It will be a second car doing 5000 miles p.a. Should I have any major concerns and will I be able to buy a warranty for a car of this age?

You definitely need a cast iron warranty because repairs of Porsches are eye wateringly expensive. 987 like this is much more reliable than a 986. Look them up in www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar

Enjoyable and easy to drive, wonderful engine sound, great performance, surprisingly practical for a two-seat sports car, good automatic PDK gearbox.
