Advice Needed Please!

Hi.

I'm currently looking to buy a Boxster, but before I part with my cash there's a few things I wanted to know.... and what better place to ask than here.

Firstly, do I go for the 2.7 or 3.2? (bearing in mind the difference in petrol, insurance and tax). Are the extra horses worth the dosh?

For the money I was looking to spend, I think an 03 or 04 plate is likely, although I understand there was quite a major facelift in 05. Is it worth spending a bit more for that model? What are the big differences?

Because there are so many different variations in spec, (extras at original purchase), it's hard to put one up against another. I think the deciding factors could be wheels, stereo and obviously trim colour and material. I also like the idea of Xenons. Are they that much better?

Also, does anyone know of an independent inspector that knows his way round a Boxster, that I could get to thoroughly check any potential car out? Preferably in the Dorset area.

Many thanks in advance.
