good idea on the IMS upgrade. Had mine done by a small shop nearby. Piece of cake they told me, they did the clutch and LNE unit for just under $2K (labor is a little pricier in these parts).

Sorry guys for not getting back to this thread sooner, but we backed out of the deal due to a developing situation.
After test driving the '03 S, we decided to make the purchase, we looked at a few options, and how to sell our current '98. In that time frame we found out that my wife is pregant! 
We though we might not need a second two seater with our developing situation!!
Anyhoo, I'll speak with the current owner and see if he'd like to offer the car for sale via the internet, and with his O.K. I'll post it up hear.

I'd say that's probably the single most understandable and awesome reason to back out of a deal like that. Congratulations to you and your wife. In the end, I'd say you're getting a much better addition to the family, and you've still got a '98 that you're happy with.

Thank you guys.
I did really like the '03 S, but this weekend, I was able to get the oppertunity to drive an '09 S with PDK. WOW FRICKEN WOW what a car!! I never thought a Boxster would be all that. Heck, with the little one on the way, maybe we'll hold out for a couple years, and pick up on of these cars on the second hand market...

That doesn't sound like a bad idea...maybe the '98 will be up for sale, after all, some day.
