That’s probably true of the Porsche we found too, any doubts stemming from its low price and the fact that it hasn’t had any pre-sale remedial work.
But this 2002 Boxster, with a 228bhp 2.7-litre flat six (for 0-60mph in 6.4sec, which isn’t bad for this money), has a very well-stamped service book, almost all with the right people, and the last service was not so long ago.
Servicing
There are no invoices, but the full book pack remains with the car, as does the second key (both encouraging signs), it comes with a factory hard top and its 87,000 miles are below average for its age.
The paintwork carries quite a few scratches and the interior could use a deeper clean, but there should be plenty of life left in it yet.
This Boxster is on sale with UK Carz Club, whose proprietor Ash Rehman operates from his home in Ilford, east London. Most of his stock comes from British Car Auctions, he says, but this Boxster was a trade-in against a newer model.
Tidy without being exceptional, it’s decent for the price. Obvious issues are those scratches and the inevitable wear to the steering wheel rim and the gearlever. But its MOT history bears out the miles, the only advisories being corrosion to some brake pipes, worn brake discs, corrosion on the MacPherson struts and a mild oil leak.
