We spent the day yesterday driving the '03 S, so I thought I'd share some thoughts.
First the positives:
POWER, and TORQUE
The acceleration of the S is very impressive, and quite fun!
The condition of the car is very good, it has 61k miles, but feels very tight.
Lots of new stuff, tires, CV boots, and a complete service history.
It has some aftermarket stereo equipment, which has been professionally installed.
It comes with a very impressive list of options such as clear bra, litronics, clear headlights heated seats, as well as others.
I think I can get into this car, and make it my own. With the '98 tip, I kind of felt that I'd eventually replace it with something faster, (we do attend PDX's, AX's and track day's)
The negatives:
Headliner, I miss seeing the structure for the top, and don't necessarily like being insulated from the car.
The trunk switches, I kind of like the big release levers, as opposed to the electronic switches.
We will need to replace the IMS ASAP with the LN, Raby retrofit bearing, as I'm a bit more concerned with the single row unit as opposed to our current two row bearing.
The conclusions:
I think we will be talking to the current owner on Monday to see if we can come to terms, which shouldn't be a problem.
Next weekend we may very well be into an '03 Boxster S
Anyone interested in a '98 base tip with 48k miles? Very well cared for!
