8 plus owners ??

Evening,

Would a boxster with 8 previous owners put you off buying ?

It's a 2005 s . 

Was gonna look at a ppi but 8 owners I feels a lot.

Cheers

On a 17 year old car? Not really. Especially as a lot of people have these as a 2nd / weekend car

I would be more focussed on the service history / MOT history etc

History and condition over owners and miles, within reason.  Bear in mind even 120k is only around 6.5k per annum average at 18 years old.  8 people who have looked after it would be better than 2 that neglected it for a couple of years each, but a few of the 8 in quick succession recently might indicate an expensive problem or at least potential problem.

Some say that lots of owners is actually a good thing.

The reason being, each of those owners probably treated the car really well once they purchased it. People tend to service it, replace any broken parts etc etc 

 

Yes, it does affect the value but buy on condition.
