When I was looking for a Boxster, I had two choices here locally. An 03 S 5sp and a 03 base with a tip, the S cost 5k more than the 03 based and had 1k less miles. However the base model had PSM, Heated Seats, 17 inch wheels (with colored crests), yes the S has a bigger engine and brakes but that's all. I purchased the base for 5k less and more options. But in the end, it's about what you feel is right for you and whichever you select, I hope you enjoy it.
