Thinking of buying a used Boxster, which one is the wiser choice?

Thanks for the replies so far, and found the 5th option;

5) 2004 S, manual, 36k miles = $18,000

Go see if you can negotiate it down. My 2001 S was listed at $18,500. Final price was $13,750. Again though, decide on the color/options that you want, find a good example, get a PPI and then negotiate. Just my .02 cents.

Make sure you get one with the options you want - auto trans/tiptronic vs. manual.
Try both. Heated seats? I like lower mileage cars. Try several cars and of course a PPI(prepurchase in inspection) before you commit or walk. Do not be in a hurry. It is a buyer's market.Receipts for work done helps.Accident damage?

My biggest regret was not saving up the extra cash for the Boxster S as recommended in the Video below.

For the relative newbies, please explain what the Broken "B" is, and why it is dreaded.
