I would advise you to give him a deposit ASAP.

2000-2002 seem to be a vintage that was free of the Pre-2000 porous engine block issues (not all engines of course), and having far fewer intermediate drive shaft failures that are being reported with the 2003-2004. So 200-2002 seems to
be a sweet spot of sorts. I believe Consumer Reports rates the Boxster by year and reported problems etc. Might worth some researching on their site.
