Man, that car looks really good! Do you know what suspension its got? Are those 18" trubo twists?

I need to see if there are any events up your way. The sad reality with PCA: There are just so many events on the calendar–at least down in Florida–that could stay busy and never leave your region.
At least in pictures, it looks damn near perfect! What a score!

Yes to 18' turbo twists.
The coilovers are silver with light blue springs. I am pretty sure they are Bilstein pss9's.

The interior is pretty much perfect. The wheels have a few nicks and scrapes, tires are new. The exterior is all original paint. The front bumper, fenders and hood have several rock chips, I am assuming from track days... the rest of the paint is in excellent condition.
That is a hell of a lot of car for $9k! You can get your enjoyment out of it and then sell it on at a profit.

That's the plan. Oddly enough my buddy with the car lot who generally encourages my vehicle flipping shenanigans, took one look at the car and said. "yeah you should probably keep this one"
As a Boxster owner, I actually prefer driving the BRZ/FRS/86 (grass is greener?). What made you decide to sell your coupe? How does your new car compare so far?
So I spoke with the original owner this afternoon for about 25 minutes. I was able to track him down via a little google sleuthing. Super nice guy.
He sold the car because he ordered a new Cayman GTS. He confirmed that the car had PSS9 coilovers, a short shifter, new tires (less than 500 miles) and Pagid Racing pads. He said all the maintenance is up to date, but it is due for an oil change. He said the plugs were replaced about 3000 miles ago as was the mass airflow sensor.
He said many of the common problems have been addressed, including a recent replacement of the coolant tank. Most importantly the IMS bearing was done along with a clutch and RMS at 33k miles!
So far I have ordered a new set of rotors, and an oil change kit from FCP euro. I haven't ordered new pads but I will tomorrow, once I decide which route to go. Oh yeah and a set of weather tech mats arrived today for it.
In other news a Subaru BRZ car cover fits surprisingly well...
Man, what a score. Congrats on finding the prior owner to fill in the details
Took the car on a drive up A1a with my wife to grab lunch. Nothing beats a convertible in Florida in the fall.
Found a twin when we stopped to eat.
Typically first gen Boxsters don't look great to me but yours sure does. Maybe it's the stance? Whatever it is, it is lovely!
