Anybody familiar with this '03 Boxster?

Thanks Pirate50. I'm seeing similar pricing and availability in the Puget Sound area.
Do you live near Hillsboro by any chance??

if you do have a look check the paint on the drivers side upper wing from wheel arch to door.. maybe the picture but the paint looks little off.

and if you do plump for it.. an 03 with 46k on it.. get a full warranty if you can. an IMS could ruin your day !

Tip should also put the price down since they're less desirable. Time of the season should also put the price down as well.

Looks very clean and I like the TIP. Boxsters with TIP's have less IMS trouble and are more fun to drive everyday. I believe in 03 they changed the IMS bearing issue and maybe have resolved the problem. Make him and offer.

No the IMS problem was not resolved until the introduction of direct injection on the 987 in 08 or 09 when Porsche did away wit the IMS. Way to much money I have really, really been doing research on 986 looking to buy and I would not pay over $15,000 for that boxster. They either bought it wrong or they are just hoping that someone will walk in and have to have it.

This car is $9,000 less and I found it in less than 5 minutes. You could update the top and headlights and still be some $4,000 to $5,000 ahead.

Heck if nothing else use it as leverage.

I've been to that dealer to look at a couple of other cars, they look nice in pictures but most of their stuff is thrashed. I would stay away from that guy. And to answer the original posters question, No, I'm on the opposite side of the Portland metro area from Hillsboro, ( about an hour away ). I do think the dealer in Hillsboro is fairly reputable, new car dealer, been around for at least 20 years.
