Buying used Boxster is hard work

If you're not sold on black, I would postpone. Plenty of supply of 987s out there.

Black car is great for a weekend car but after having lived with one for 6 years I would not do that again. I'm far too fastidious and nit picky about my hobby car. The other thing I hated was that blemishes and unavoidable pebble impact from highway driving seem to magnify on that color. Matching black paint if you wanted to do some annual touch ups was also a PITA, requiring 2nd attempts by the paint shop. Sometime it wasn't the color but the fact that the booth allowed some minute particles to stick to the paint before it dried. In other words you have to have really good paint $hop. Or you could clear bra the whole front end. Also expensive.

My next car will be white or silver again. door graphics look great on both.

If I were buying again I'd camp on this site until a member sells. Great cars are offered here and usually they already have $1000s put into them so you don't have to. I see some of the prices and all that has been done and realize I overpaid buying elsewhere for a car that didn't have all sorts of preventative maintenance or nice mods.

I will say I got lucky the ONLY thing that has been expensive on my car is all the stuff I did to it for fun and to make it as new as possible. Looking at all the repair records from the previous owner my car had very few. Now the ones that were done were expensive because he didn't do them himself.

When I was looking 18 months ago I came across a lot of bad cars, the good ones got snatched up fast.
