1) Bumper isnt correct for that year, Thats a boxster S bumper from a newer year but the wingets and side skirts are aftermarket
2) 1997 didnt come with side airbags... I know i own a 1997
3) Wood grain isnt that good looking, I would look for another boxster. Possibly one from a dealer that actually knows what is and isnt stock and if there are or arent side airbags. Not a good sign.
4) It can be worn tires if the car is steering into every crack or grove in the road. if the steering is really shakey on the road, could be alignment, worn shocks, and worn suspension bushings on your front and or rear track arms especially if theres alot of chattering in the suspension.
FYI, look under the engine for oil leaks, any oil leaks could be the dreaded Rear Main Seal leak... some people say its a factory engine defect that sometimes comes back in under 15k miles. Get a Point of Purchase Inspection of the car by your local porsche dealer before paying for the car, it costs about 235 bucks and the dealer will go through the entire car and point out anything wrong with it.
