Hi Guys,
Thinking of getting the missus a 55 reg 987 Boxster.
It has 67K miles and looks to be in pretty good condition, the only problem is the service history Surprised
The car belonged to the father of the family and he passed away, so the car in 2008 and 12k miles did not get used much and was SORN for a couple of years. The next service was in 2014 with 30K miles done.
So, there is a gap of 6 years between servicing and approx 18K miles!
The service at 2014 and those after have not been with OPC either!!
The car has done 36K since the laid up period.
The only work done on the car when it wasn't being used much was a battery and a trickle charger for obvious reasons.
The car is advertised at £8000 and available for £7250, that was prior to him telling me about the gap he has just discovered (he is selling for a friend).
It may come a bit cheaper, but is it worth the risk??
Not sure what the manual states about service intervals?? and the affect it may have when we come to sell it on??
Also, that stale oil sat in the sump for 6 years, will it have caused any damage? bore scoring etc??
Really looking for some advice as I know nothing about Boxsters
Please help??
