It is a good idea, probably. Check for main seal leaks & that block cracking problem. To avoid those issues and retractable hardtop I would go with this,

HOLY SHIT AN AUX CABLE! Seriously it seems solid, the car itself is great, IMS issues are unlikely given the car's actually been driven and not garage-queened and so on. Price seems reasonably if not a bit low
>>14835830
I'd go for it, especially with the AUX cable

Not even OP but fuck off. The Boxster is an actual driver's car (unfortunately the Cayman wasn't available for the 986), that SLK is an expensive fashion statement.
I would rather have a Toyota MR2 turbo (mk2), because i don't like the look of those late 90's/early 2000s Porsches, but it's a good little car, i guess
Was going to say no easily but then I saw that they are including an AUX cable. Just got off my airline's website and will be heading out soon to try to buy it before you.
>>14835830
good deal. I would get it.
It's high enough mileage to not have an immediate IMS bearing failure. Not out of the realm of possibility but it's past the majority of the data statistics of the mileage on cars with IMS bearing failures.
I own one and they are extremely fun to drive. The chassis is like no other convertible. It's stiff and feels like a car with a roof.
>aux cord
do it
Aren't these the motors that have a known bearing failure in the camshaft at around a 100kmiles?

They're both fun as hell, but I live where it rains 50" a year so the retractable hardtop and ESC are more important to me than image or internet lap times.

Don't lie to yourself, anon.

what is the relation between needing a hardtop and rain?
hardtops leak too, and seeing how many electronics and mechanisms are involved in those mercedes retractable hardtops, i'd be terrified to own one.
Only climate related benefits from hardtops are that they are better for really cold weather.
Driving a soft top in rain is super cozy, that taktaktaktak from the rain hitting the top feels nice.
Terrible idea. It's a shit car on top of that.

anyone have ideas on what the seller paid for this thing at auction? what's the usual margin for some shitty little used dealership on sub $10k cars?

I only drove the softie for 2 months (in the rain), I didn't like the rain & road noise. Also the rear window was yellow, vinyl is cheap but I didn't want to mess around with sewing or adhesives so I never fixed it.
Only issues I've had w/ the SLK hardtop assy is the two cable clips can fall out of the roof and get pinched. It'd be a pita if the hydraulics ever leaked though.
Mercedes and Porsche forums attract plenty of entitled whiners as you might expect but desu both Merc and VAG in general might be bad choices if you're not into electronics.
>>14835830
Fuck, I'd do it. Boxsters are plenty reliable and even DDable as far as sports cars go.
