Re: Help with offer
Thanks, I like your strategy but I have not been able to find any comparibles that illustrate a lower price for a high mileage Boxster S. S except for the one you refered to earlier which has a salvage title. And I agree with you that this car does indeed have a limited demographic due to that mileage.

I spoke with the seller today and offered him $10K. He said no thanks, he'll keep it. The best he would offer me is $11K but he keeps one set of the turbo rims (I can pick which ever set I prefer, the 17 or 18 inch). I do want the hard top as it gives the car a unique look and storage is not an issue. He did indicate that the RMS seal had already been replaced per the maintenance records but I explained that it depends when it was done as with this many miles it could need to be replaced again as there were signs of seepage. He stated that since the PPI was done by a new car dealer they are holding this car to new car standards and seepage is normal and does not indicate a problem.

I did not accept his offer but indicated I would do more research and get back to him tomorrow.
