i'm a brand new first time boxster owner. i purchased from private party a '97 with 5 speed and seems to have standard equipment. i'm concerned because the car has only 13,300 miles. retired executive ownd and only drive in winter months in arizona. i'm hearing that a car like this needs to be driven in order to be kept in good shape. i'm also concerned with rear main seal problems or so i'm told. needless to say the car looks like it was just driven off the new car dealer show room floor. the color is the deep dark blue. is there a fancy porsche name for the color? i'm thinking of taking it in for the 15,000 mile check as my starting point to learn about the car. i would appreciate any comments, good or bad .

thanks, bruce

ps. i paid $20,000 for the car. seems to be a good price.
