After a month of touring the southwest (probably drove 1500-2000 miles in search of it), I finally found a Boxster I am happy with. It's a 2001 Boxster S that was in Tempe Arizona, 48k miles and overall in good condition. It just needed new CV boots and wheel bearings (something I hear is common with 6 speed Boxsters anyway). I was happy to find that the car has a good amount of options since my last Boxster was completely stock, this one has memory and heated seats, a 6 speed CD changer with DSP (someone have an online manual for this?), chrome wheels and litronics.

I got quoted 800 dollars to change the wheel bearings from a local indy shop, is this an easy job and if so, how much are parts?
