Bought my Boxster from Consett, Durham. Had it collected by an online car courier bloke.
Saw a video of it running and was happy to pay the £1900 for it.

My Omega isn't that bad really, seems the blocked breathers & leaking cam cover gaskets is to be expected. I've actually had pretty good luck with sight unseen purchases. As well as the Omega I bought my MR2 and my CB500 without seeing them, both are great.

I think with hindsight I should have used a long piece of wire to clear the smaller hole in the breather box. I was following the guide that said to use a 1.6mm drill bit, but really it's such a small hole the flutes weren't able to bring the sludge up anyway. And I've never seen a ~1mm drill bit that would also be long enough to avoid the risk of it falling in

I removed and opened the breather box, and retrieved my errant drill bit  It was really lodged in there, there's no way it would have made it into the crankcase, but I'm still glad I got it back for my own piece of mind (and because it was my only 1mm drill bit)

Piece of mind is priceless

If there's a next time.... maybe wrap some tape round the shank of the drill bit so it can't fall inside
