New to Forum and Porsche
Howdy! well a week ago today I found a 99 Boxtster 986, midnight blue with only 45,600 original miles and for a great price! My intention was only to go look at it, but before the evening was over it was sitting in my drive way. The paint is in excellent condition, no dings, clean carfax, engine has plenty of "grunt" and quite frankly, every time I see it in the parking lot,,, I say "Wow, that is my car"! 
I've posted a couple of pictures of it on my forum garage and I will be adding more soon. I've already read quite a few posts and have found some helpful tips... Thanks!

These early 986s really are fabulous cars and fantastic value. Enjoy.

I have an ocean blue 2000 and it looks identical. I bought mine last may and have already put 7000 mile on it. No bit issues except for CEL light that turned out to be a MAF sensor and some tire issues. All Good now. I drive it every chance I get. You will enjoy it. Join your local Porsche club and share your enthusiasm with others. My local club takes local trips all the time. Great time.
Any question just ask this forum and you will get answers. PM me if I can help with anything.
