I was in your same spot last year. This forum has been great, members were really good with answering my questions (I had a lot of them). The best advice that you will see repeatedly is to buy the newest Boxster you can afford and prepare for $1500 yearly in upkeep. Also read about the IMS bearing. When it is time to buy be patient, there is a lot of junk available. I scoured cargurus.com, cars.com, autotrader.com and Craigslist for months. I was very particular about what I wanted.

I just bought one today and I have loved my first 3 hours of ownership. I already made an appt to get some work done on it so my journey begins.
