seeking input from boxster onwers on their 986

[Leeper]

Got a MY2000 base because the deal was way too good to turn down. I don't need the "S", the extra HP/torque was not an attraction. Also had a MY2001 base that I was very happy with years ago. I've been around the 2005 and did not care at all for the dash set-up.

I bought a 2002 base Boxster with 64,000 miles October of last year previous owner had spent close to $6000 in repairs and maintenance, I paid $9000 for the car. I put another $2,500 into the car for new top,IMS & RMS now I have a new car it's bulletproof for $11,500 You cannot find a cheaper performance car then the Boxster.

I bought a 2001 Boxster base with 30k miles last year and have put on 10k miles trouble free. Glass rear window 2003 and on would be nice though. Have manual trans., did not need the S. Now have great air. cond. and heated seats. Make sure u get the options u want. PPI is mandatory unless u know what u are doing. Enjoy the search. Don't be in a hurry!Try the tiptronic if feel the need for the city.
