Hi Dixie, welcome to the forum!
+1 on the advice from dcporsche99. And if you decide to go with a new model, use the forum to study up so you can make a wise choice. Lots of great info here (starting with Sticky Note #3 at the top of the Gen Disc) and feel free to ask any questions. Lots of experience here that you can lean on. Then decide what colors and options you need or want and let the fun begin.
Something to consider is looking for a CPO (certified pre owned) used Boxster from a Porsche dealer. You pay a little more for one but most of the items we worry about are then covered for 2 yrs (it's not a bumper to bumper but RMS is covered). Porsche doesn't just CPO late model Boxsters either. I traded in an 01S on my new 08 and the dealer has CPO'd it. So older Boxsters can have some factory warranty. Just something to think about...
In the meantime, enjoy your sunny warm weather. It's cold and snowy here.
