Recommended Buyers Guide?

[CRS1]

Hello all,

I have made the decision to shop for my dream car.
However I could use some help on what to look for.
I would like to get a 2003-2005 Boxster S.
The questions I have is... is there a better value year that I should look for?
Would it be better to get lower milege and older, or aim for newer?
I like the look of the changes to the 2005, but the price is getting up there.
Any thoughts on places to look? I'd love to be able to find a leaser that would be willing to sell instead of lease-return.

Also... any guide on things to look for to ensure the car is in good shape/condition?

Thanks in advance!
