Im looking at buying a 2001 boxster S and it looks great and everything seems nice, except the door locks do not work. The key fob communicates with the car, but doesnt unlock the doors. And the interior door lock buttons do not work either. The seller said it was just the actuators went bad and they are only $50 each, and that should fix the problem. Im no mechanic, and dont wanna buy a project. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I didnt ask him that, but he said it does communicate with the car. How he knows that is beyond me.
