Used Boxsters, especially the S, represent a huge value. Also, a stock S has far more capability than 95% of their drivers; save your money on suspension mods and spend it on a few track days, along with a good set of DOT-R rated rubber.
^ see I'm wrestling with the suspension mod thing right now as my shocks are on their last days (really bad rattling from the passenger side). I always said that if the shocks had to come out I would replace them with full coil overs (PSS9). But now I'm having second thoughts. The sport suspension on the 986S is first class and being lower isn't really going to produce significantly quicker lap times. The gains by spending nearly 3 grand in this department will be dwarfed by a set of street legal R-Comps like the RA-1 which can shave SECONDS.
right now I'm leaning towards just replacing the shocks with same and maybe adding ROW springs, maybe... I don't want a harsher ride.

I got my 2000 base for 14,700ish from a dealer with 72k and lots of upgrades like TC, 17" wheels..
So I'm guessing buying from a person I could have gotten the car for 12k or 13k.
I don't think it's so much that used boxsters are so cheap, rather new boxsters are wayyyyy too expensive. They are great cars to drive, don't get me wrong but compared to some other cars they are over priced. I love driving my box, but when it comes time to upgrade I'll do so with a used boxster S.
