The older boxsters like mine had oodles of problems that required sorting. The 04's and up are far more dependable and to be totally truthful, the RMS and IMS issues are not something you should worry about. It's a small percentage of M96 motors and I have never had either problem, although my first gen motor was replaced at 75k... and I now have 108k on it.

Go drive the car, and bring your wife and let her drive it too.

Then HAMMER the dealer on price. In this economy, you should be able to walk off that lot with the car, an extended warranty, new floormats, and a kiss on the cheek after given a very healthy discount.

I will say this though: before you sign anything, get a pre purchase inspection from the Pcar dealer or a reputable indy with certified technicians.

BTW, Litronics and Bose are two features I'd be wanting on my newer boxster.
