test drive a 2000-2004 BoxsterS. Use that as your baseline and decide what you are comfortable paying for it. Sounds like you are a value buyer. Right now the 2000-2002 S models are a serious bargain. With the right wheels and aero people will think you are driving a $50-60K car, is surely drives better than most in that range.
and whatever you do don't drive a CaymanS before driving a Boxster. And I mean a REAL drive....It's the best Porsche I have ever driven and that includes nearly all of the non-GT Carreras and non-3.4 Boxsters.

I assume you mean the Cayman? I also like the looks of the Cayman but prefer a convertable. One of my employees had a Cayman and liked it though he traded it for a Cayenne last month. Not sure what he was thinking.

Flat Spin,

If I had to do it over again I would recommend a 2003 or newer Boxster. The glass rear window and exterior styling makes a big difference. Also, make sure to get a PPI ( pre-purchase inspection ) when you find one you like, and read Mike Focke's website :

Another good site :

Hope this helps...
