If it makes you feel better, I will air out my dirty laundry.
I joined this forum a couple of weeks ago because that's when I bought my '01 Boxster S with 30k miles for $19,500. Why so much? I'm the third owner, and I know both of the previous owners. I have full maintenance records showing oil changes every 5,000 miles. Spotless carfax. Brand new tires. To say it was well taken care of is an understatement; it looks MINT. The 12 year old flat black paint is flawless; you have to try hard to see a single swirl mark. I know the previous owner only washed it by hand with distilled water. It also has the must-have sport touring and design packages as well as the rare factory aerokit (that the original owner paid almost 7 grand for
)
I probably should have researched more, but I don't care. It was a good value to me because I would argue there is not an '01 Boxster S in better condition within a thousand miles. It makes me happy and that's all that matters.
Now replace that IMS bearing and drive the crap out of it
