It has heated seats and hi-fi audio with in dash CD, which I assume is better than stock? But, my credit union wants $3000 for the same warranty, which is 4 years from the date you sign the warranty or 60,000 total miles. Just looking for some input about the '02 Boxster. One other thing, I live in Chicago, so no garage, just an open parking space off the street. Don't know if this would cause problems with the top, etc. Thanks for the input.

Those are two very different cars. Neither are terribly practical, but if you are an enthusiast, they both sound like good choices. Have you driven the Boxster yet? I would suggest you drive the Box and then decide if the loss of space will be worth the larger grin when you drive.
Both cars have their maintenance issues, but since you are looking at a warrantee, you should be in good shape.
Good luck – I don’t think you can make a bad decision here. They are both great cars. Let us know what you decide and why.
