New owner advise please

Post by jimfitton »

Hi Folks,
Just taken delivery of a new to me Boxster 986.
Its a June 98 car, one previous owner with 146k miles.
I have the original sales invoice, and some history including a complete engine rebuild at 95k. I'm trying to track down some more history from the original owner. I'm not sure when the last service was completed.
Its Ocean Blue with Black leather, and was supplied with quite a few options from new, including the hardtop, lux pack and lots of other bits.
There are a few small jobs to do to get it how I want it, but looking for advice on what I should expect to need work. Its had advisory free MOTs for years, currently due in August but has only done 1k since the last one so I'm not expecting too many horrors! I'm planning to get it checked over ASAP so I can start to budget for the necessary jobs.
