Base models do not have a cheaper interior, just different queues to identify it vs an S interior. The main difference between an S and base interior is the gauge faces are silver on an S and black on a base. The rest of the interior is subject to how the purchaser ordered the car, so you could have a Spartan S interior and an opulent base interior - it just depends how it was optioned.
You don't state where you're located, so it's hard to recommend a place to buy. If you're in SoCal, you could find many options on Craigslist. If you're in Montana, you may have to look on AutoTrader and have a wide search sphere. Since you are not a car guru (nothing wrong with that), when you find a car that you're interested in, have a PPI (pre-purchase inspection) done. This will cost $300-$500, but will allow an expert to look over the car and determine if it's in good shape. Since a PPI is not cheap, you only want to do them on serious candidates.
2009 and 2010 Boxsters are starting to hit the mid-$20K mark. They'll have a few miles on them, but these particular years are fairly low maintenance and should last well over 100K mi.
I hope your dreams come true and you're able to purchase a Boxster. They make an excellent reward.

I am actually located in Canada at the moment but will be coming to the states soon depending on where I get placement for my clinical rotations after writing my step 1 exam. Now I guess I can fly to the place I would buy the car and then drive it or have it delivered to where I get placed. In this circumstance where would you look for a good & cheapest prices for 2009+ model porsche boxster?
The one's that are on "autolist.com" with less then 60k miles on them are around $25,000 USD.
Thanks & I hope one day I can return to this first thread of mine and quote you saying I got one someday
