Price $26k + $1.4k($1.7k) 3(5) year extended warranty from an independent car place.
Anything see anything wrong with that? I know the price is kind of high but the cost of the warranty drops the overall price.

Eh.... remember, it only costs about a grand to ship a car anywhere. I know you can find a better car elsewhere, ship it, and still be under that price, with a warranty.

If it's a good car, then that seems fair to me. Warranty price seems low for the duration. What does it really cover? What does it exclude? Deductable? I'm guessing it's worth considering skipping the warranty.
As for the price being high. I don't know. FWIW, a friend sold his '01 S w/19K miles (base 'S', no litronic, etc.) back in early June for $28.5. Given that, as I said, the price seems fair to me...then again, I haven't really looked around to see what else is out there.

do a search with the Better Business Bureau on the warranty company. Most of these operations are **************** shows. I had one with CWS and set up a payment plan. Good move not to pay it all up front because after they denied a claim for a $4 parking brake switch (plus $120 in dealer labor) I canceled the contract. This was a warranty company that was affiliated in some way with CarFax.
Call up the warranty co. and ask them if they are owned by a insurance company or if they are squarely independent.
As for the car, it looks nice but it sounds like they have built in a good amount of negotiating space into the price. My advice, if the dealer is local, check out the car go and on about Boxsters and your Porsche knowledge and then walk out of the dealer saying that your checking out two other cars but you are very interested in this one. DON'T tell him that you will call him in X amount of days, better yet don't set up any expectations whatsoever. Before you leave ask him when they got the car in. Shake hands and say buh bye...... Wait at least 5 days, call him out of the blue and offer him the absolute lowest you think he will agree to. Don't worry about offending him that's his job. He'll probably counter and then you tell them you have to check with your fiance when she gets back from work later that night. Call them the next day with another low counter offer. Each time say you have to check with your fiance. The point is if you intend to buy any car you visit DO NOT! DO NOT! DO NOT buy it the day you check it out for the first time. Each day that goes by is $$ in your pocket and extra **************** his sales manager is giving him for not selling.
If you come to an agreement set up a PPI and you find anything wrong deduct that from the agreed upon price. 9 times out 10 they will cave.

It's all about finding the right car for an individual's tastes. Finding that right car is possible but sometimes that means paying a little more than it would for another if you weren't as selective. Ex. silver cars are a dime a dozen. However, if you must have white, then there are fewer options and it will require more patience to find that right car.
BTW: ddb, in case I haven't said so lately, I really like the looks of your car.
