Someone asked me when I first got the Boxster what kind of gas mileage do you get? Gee, don't know....still don't. Never checked it since it isn't the daily driver. I figure pumpimg Hi test it will take some of the fun out of it if I knew

Nylart it sounds like you were exactly where I was. Same years due to budget. I probably would have gone with a local non S but t had Grey interior which I didn;t want.

Mine had some paint issues, CV boots as mentioned, but I was able to get into a S as a result. I'm not sure if I would have been happy or disappointed with the non S. Never driven one.

Good luck with your search!

dont discount non S ijust got non S 2003 facelift
better than my A3/TT/E or Classes for takeoff...cheaper insurance, cheaper brakes,drilled units corrode more in winter, and im in lon 8/12 months cold/rain etc.
Non S late model,air induction,exhaust maybe. the S is god but not worth the xtra in my opinion and I could have got one, money is not the issue for me.

try a nice later model non s , see what u think, I've driven 3 of each before finally buying.
