When it comes to a Porsche, lust always wins out over common sense.....So go for it!!

IMHO though, buy a newer one. 2004 is a good year.

When I bought my 2000S, I knew what needed to be done after driving and looking the car over. A one owner in pristine condition and a PCA decal on the window sold me. Didn't have time for a PPI, other buyers lining up to buy. I have spent a bout $1500, new tires, new rotors and pads, brake flush, 60 miles service plus the TIP. I did everything but the tires.

As most of the posters in this thread have said, one of the best ways to make Porsche ownership more affordable is to do the maintanence and repairs yourself.

Browse through the Pelican Parts tutorials and you'll see how easy this is: (http://www.pelicanparts.com/boxster/boxster_tech.htm).
