Try both cars. If u feel the need for power then the S may be the answer. I have a 2001 Boxster base black and have had it one year. It had low miles - around 40k. I drove it it in winter and so far has been perfect and spent about $2k on it. The above poster says what r u going to use it for - track , autocross or everday driver. That is a good question. Mine is black as well - a b---h to keep clean. I don't have the need for a lot of power so the base is good. I needed air cond. and heated seats. Make sure these work! Either one will likely make u happy but it is u who must decide. Make sure everything works - turn on ignition without starting. Make sure all lites light up especially the check engine lite. Ask to see receipts for work done. Get a PPI done. Don't rush into this . Take your time. The PPI may show deficiencies and if you can live with that, deduct from the asking price. I know the feeling - you are a kid in a candy store.
Do your homework. Enjoy
