Smile may have found one!!

well, my new friends, i may have found a used boxster in my price range that seems pretty immaculate and tenderly cared for. its a 2002 with about 28,000 miles. 2nd owner. meticulously maintaned mechanically and body wise. heated garage . asking 23.9000. im hoping he will take $20,000. if it is as good as it seems and he will go to my price AND if i can get my finances together i may have one within the week. standard boxster. black on black. 5speed. everything perfect. mechanically and body wise.

If everything checks out and you genuinely like everything about it, go for it but remember those risks we were telling you about.

I think your offering a fair price for that car, he should take it. $20k seams to be the high range for older Boxsters, but if it's in great shape, it'll be worth it. We bought the base also, it's pretty fast, just dosen't throw you back in the seat. If it dosen't work out, there are plenty of others out there, good luck!

Price seems a bit high to me. FWIW, in October I paid $19,900 at Carmax for my 2002 Boxster S 6-speed with 39,800 miles on it. The car you're looking at has 10k fewer miles, but it's not an S. Just my $.02.

Price seems a little on the high side, but if you want it bad enough there no stopping you. Good luck!

I have the same car and color scheme. You'll love it. However, I have to agree with everyone else. Not only is the seller asking too much, your offering too much. It's your money, so do what you want, but I would not offer more than $17,000 for that car in this market and maybe go up to $18,000. There are so many sellers out there, it you can do much better than your current offer.

Nice car, congratulations. Are the rims off of a 987? Looks like "Back in Black" is going your theme song.

Beautiful car. Black on black is one of my top three favorite color combos. (...the other two being red with black interior and Speed Yellow with black interior, which is what I have.) Put a few coats of Zaino on her and enjoy!
