Careful, that kind of enthusiasm can get you a nice looking car that will cost you
ALOT more than you paid to buy it. Buy the newest, nicest Boxster you can afford. By afford, conventional wisdom is to keep $2-3k in reserve for the unexpected. Like all Porsches, these cars aren't cheap, no matter what the purchase price is. By that, I mean 4x what you're probably used to for replacement parts and maintenance, that is if the car remains reliable. Get a PPI and read through these forums. You need to be well informed about the potential financial risks of owning one of these cars before buying one.
I don't mean to scare anyone off, but you need to know what you're getting into before dropping coin. Only after all that should you join the rest of us in Boxster driving heaven!
