Boxster S buying advise...which car...links and descriptions provide....00 S or 03 S?

I'd go with the 03.
1. Glass rear window
2. Exhaust sound is sportier
3. Glove box - minor but a plus
4. Lower miles

What's the price diff between the two?

2003 Boxster S all the way. I really like the 2000 in the pictures, however I think the price is a little high. The 03 has a glass top, and there is no substitution to that.
Happy buying.

Go for the '03 for all the reasons everyone else has mentioned.

I agree the '00 is way overpriced. The boy racer toys are cool, if that's your thing, but they don't add that much value - certainly not $5-$6k. A dealer might give him $1k more for all that stuff. When I see lots of bravado like that in an ad or hear it on the phone my antenna immediate goes up and I think to myself "Warning, warning, what's this knucklehead hiding?"

I'd much rather buy an unmolested car with service records that's been obviously well cared for by a straight talking, meticulous enthusiast than someone like that, even if it has more miles. Mileage isn't everything. Get the best car for the money then add your own bling later.
