2001 Boxster S
So I found my Boxster! WooHoo! Just got home last night from a leisurely drive from Atlanta to Dallas/FT Worth, Texas. My wife and flew out to Atlanta Monday morning, the dealer picked us up from the airport and a few hours later, I was a Boxster owner! It's a 2 owner(now 3
) 2001 S model with the sport package in Lapis Blue. It had just over 64,000 miles and is immaculate! The 2nd owner was meticulous and has owned it for the last 7 years. This was his 10th Porsche and he traded it in for a 2005 Boxster. He just did the 60,000 mile service in April. I have most of the service records and even was able to talk to the shop that has been servicing it for the last 7 years! I have also been able to correspond with the previous owner via e-mail. The shop where he had it serviced put us in touch. I found the car on cars.com last Friday, called the dealer, asked my questions and then negotiated him down from $18K to a final sales price of $13,750! I am ecstatic! The car drives like it is on rails with zero issues. We went through some of the worst rain I have seen in years and the top had no leaks!
I want to thank everyone on this forum for great advice and information! Here's a couple of pictures:
Please excuse the bugs in the last shot. It was taken right before another heavy downpour so they are now gone! I have to wash it today though!
