More horsepower is almost always a good thing when buying a used car (as is newer and fewer miles). But there are a lot of other considerations that owners take into account when buying a car.

In my case, I wanted to be able to race in the Boxster Spec classes and only base 2.5L cars are currently allowed. This might change in the near future with a Super Boxster class for the S models but this was a deciding factor of my selection of a 1999 base model.
