No unfortunately those are the prices over here. In fact, this is actually a rather cheap one (taking into account to the relatively low mileage: 90.000 kms of roughly 60.000 miles) from Germany. In Belgium you wont even find them with this kind of spec and mileage at that price. Unless if it's a right-steered car. But no-one really wants those
Repairs for the Boxster haven't been done so far as the seller won't help out. So we are setting up a lawsuit at the moment as we deem the origin of the damages being a hidden defect. In Belgium (under specific circumstances) if you can prove that there was a hidden defect in the car, the seller has to take back the car and refund the purchase as if the sale never existed. So we assigned an expert to investigate the cause and he already confirmed that this is a "hidden defect". But obviously that's not enough to convince the seller...
We're talking about 11.000 euro. For a seller's reputation, specialized in sports cars, knowing that I organise a lot of events for sports cars, you would expect the guy to be smart about this, but no. If we win the lawsuit, he will have to refund me, pay for all the lawsuit expenses as well as my lawyer's fees. If not, he will have at least to repair the car under warranty, and all legal expenses and lawyer's fees will be paid by my insurer (I have an insurance for contractual differences). So I don't have a lot to lose.
