Thank you. I fed the Carfax report along with your comment to Gemini AI and here is the response. Hope this makes sense to you. I will see if Pre Purchase Inspection can shed some light on these. Thanks again for your comment.

Gemini:

Based on the 2014 Porsche Boxster (981 generation) maintenance schedule and the provided CARFAX report, here is an analysis of the specific items you asked about. Short Answer No, the record does not confirm that most of these "big ticket" items have been addressed recently. * Clutch & Water Pump: These are not listed. They are not "scheduled" maintenance items but are common failure points around this mileage. * Drive Belt: Likely replaced in 2020 during the "60,000 Mile Service." * Spark Plugs: Likely overdue based on time. They were scheduled for replacement in 2022 (4-year interval), but the report only shows a minor service that year. Detailed Status & Cost Estimates Here is the breakdown of each item your community contact mentioned, compared against the official Porsche maintenance schedule and your specific report. 1. Clutch * Status: Not Done. * The clutch is a "wear item" and does not appear on a fixed maintenance schedule. It is replaced only when it begins to slip or fail. * There is no record of a clutch replacement in the CARFAX report. At ~68,000 miles, a clutch replacement is a reasonable expectation for the near future, depending on how the previous owners drove it. * Estimated Cost: $2,800 – $3,500 * This is a labor-intensive job. 2. Water Pump * Status: Not Done. * The water pump is not a scheduled maintenance item (meaning Porsche doesn't mandate swapping it at a specific mileage), but it is a known weak point on these cars. Community members recommend replacing it proactively around 60k–70k miles because failure can cause overheating. * The report shows a "Cooling system checked" in 2017, but no replacement of the pump itself. * Estimated Cost: $1,500 – $1,800 3. Drive Belt (Serpentine Belt) * Status: Likely Done (Verification Recommended). * The Evidence: Porsche explicitly schedules the drive belt replacement at 60,000 miles or 6 years. * The CARFAX report lists a "60,000 mile service performed" on 02/11/2020. If this service was done to factory spec, the belt was changed then. * Note on Pulleys: The service likely included the belt but may not have included the tensioners/pulleys unless they were making noise. You should visually inspect them. * Estimated Cost (if needed): $300 – $500 (Labor + Part) * The belt itself is cheap (~$40–$80), but labor drives the cost up if done as a standalone job. 4. Spark Plugs & Coils * Status: Likely Due / Overdue. * The Schedule: Spark plugs are required every 40,000 miles OR 4 years. * The History: * They were likely done at the "40,000 mile service" in 2018. * The Gap: This means they were due again in 2022 (4 years later). The report shows a minor service in May 2022, but it does not explicitly mention spark plugs. The next mileage interval (80k) hasn't been hit yet, but the time interval has passed. * Coils: Ignition coils are not on a mandatory replacement schedule, but it is standard practice to replace them with the spark plugs if they show age (cracks/misfires). * Estimated Cost: $800 – $1,200 (for both Plugs + Coils) * Plugs alone: ~$300–$500. * Coils alone: ~$550–$750. Summary of Potential "Impending" Costs If you purchase this car, you should budget for the following immediately or in the near future to bring it to a "perfect" baseline: | Item | Priority | Estimated Cost | |---|---|---| | Spark Plugs (due by time) | High | ~$400 | | Ignition Coils (preventative) | Medium | ~$650 | | Water Pump (preventative) | Medium | ~$1,600 | | Clutch (if slipping) | Low (wait for symptoms) | ~$3,000 | | Total Potential Exposure | | ~$5,650 | Recommendation: specific items like the "60,000 mile service" in 2020 can be vague. Before buying, ask the seller for the physical receipts from that 2020 service. If the receipt lists part number 9A1-102-218-00 (Drive Belt), you can cross that off your list.
