Hello all,

First time I’m looking at getting a 986 boxster and spotted 2.5 with a dealer at £7k with 58000miles. Done a full online vehicle check and appears since 2017 it’s only done about 1000miles and in its whole life it’s had 7 number plate changes.

The vehicle check hasn’t come back with anything bad and has full service history and apparently a few receipts but would this very low recent mileage and multiple number plate changes set alarm bells ringing with anyone or could this be typical Porsche ownership. Haven’t viewed it yet.

Thanks

Typical Porsche ownership TBH - people get their fun for a while, then move on. It wouldn't concern me if the service history adds up

Visited the car today and think it’s been priced for its low mileage not its condition. Looked like paint corrosion near fuel filler cap front compartment damp carpet, windscreen edges poor condition and radio stack but of a mess.

Didn’t even bother with test drive. Why do cars look so much better on the net than in the flesh?
