I have 97 base and 2001 S

So here is my take on it. I have both base 97 with a low vin number actually manufactured in Stuttgart with current 138,xxx miles on all original drive train and clutch and 2001 S. The power differences are significant, however believe it or not I have more fun in my 97. The car is lightest among all the Boxsters and you will feel that difference between the 97 and S model.

So if you compare these on the twisty roads, the 97 feels a lot more fun. It handles better, it brakes well (you can upgrade the fronts to 996 or S brakes). The lower gearing is a lot of fun on the back roads as well

Also I suggest you get a hardtop, its a great investment, they are only going up in price each year. I remember when you could get one for $600 during winter month, now even during summer they are over 1K


Also taking into consideration this is a low miles, one owner car I would suggest you grab it.

my .02 cents
