Thinking about getting a Boxster, Off Topic Options

[germaneighter]

I'm thinking of getting a 2000 - 2002 Boxster or S model to use as a daily driver and retire my '74 2.0 to weekend use. I don't have any personal Boxster experience nor do I know anyone who has any..... Just what I've read, mainly in Excellence magazine. I plan on test driving a couple of cars this weekend.

Anyone have any general advice? What to look, feel, or listen for? How much difference, (better?) in the S model over the 2.7?

thanks,
dg

Just bought a 99 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

IMO just like the excellence article says, if you shop, do your homework, and roll the dice a bit they are a fantastic bargin.

I resisted my normal urge to find a garage queen and buy a higher mile extensively serviced one.

Mine has 83k but had the replacement porsche warrenty motor put in at 54k, just had newer adjustable lower a arms, Clutch, RMS and IMS and pads rotors and soft lines 2 months ago. New top 2 years ago, and a binder of records dating to new. 2nd owner bought a extended warrenty and used the heck out of it, I can't imagine the warrenty company liked him very much, he brought it in for every little thing and they paid.

Root, where are these 6k Boxsters? Only one's I've seen that low even wholesale have had rebuilt or branded titles, or 150k plus.

Jim, NICE CAR! Wish mine were white, over tan, I have polar silver over blue.

So far I'm very pleased with how it drives and handles.
