Hi All:

Well I may be coming over from the dark side. I've been driving German cars for years but my primary toy is a Corvette.

We need something for my wife to drive (the kids are hogging the other cars) and a friend is selling his 2000 Boxster with 23K miles and I think I can get it for around $12,500. IMO this may be a deal that is too good to pass up on a really fun and beautiful car. We've never had a Porsche and never a convertible of any sort.

Any advice is appreciated. Anything to look for in particular? My mechanic says there was some issue with castings and cracked blocks?

Thanks in advance for your words of wisdom. If we get the car then I will enjoy perusing the threads here.
