Craigslist is a good tool to see regional/seasonal prices and how many are on the market. Here's a shot of the current LA market. (I set max price to $25,000, highest odometer to 180,000 miles, and newest year to 2009)

These cars have a lot of differences from your average car. Have a pre-purchase inspection done by a mechanic who knows Porsches. We can help you find a shop in the area if you have trouble finding one:

Read the forum and check out the Boxster related videos on Youtube. Don't rush to buy, there are plenty on the market and there will always be a better deal next week.

This is some good stuff, thank you so much. I will definitely look into this.
