yeah yeah i know another newbe. vin Q's and model Q's

im one week away from buying a 97 boxster with 77k on the odo. I've been reading alot of good info on here.

here is my question

How do i read the vin?
What numbers/letters do i want to avoid?
did the worst castings have a engine vin code? or is it a gamble?
does assembly location affect engine casting? how do i tell location from vin?

i have already decided to buy a boxster and i know most will say go big and get the "S" but for me im not realy looking for the highest engine performance just reliabillaty and looks. i have a motorcycle for speed

I am an ex Pontiac fiero owner/modifier and even though i loved the performance of my 240hp turbocharged v6 fiero at the end of the day i was still driving a 1980's fiero :ah:
