Worth my time? 98' 986

[TeacherRCN]

This is all very helpful. A lot of it just good reassurance. Affording maintenance isn’t as much the concern as full engine failure. That would be the kiss of death for my entrance into Porsche. As for the price, this is why I am most interested. It is a car actually being sold just outside of my home town, never driven in the winters (Michigan, so that protects from cold start ups), $7,900. Now I was truly considering two vehicles. A 2006 Caymen S, or this 98’ Boxster. One I could buy outright (highly appealing), the other a finance. I am regretfully deciding against the Caymen S, but if you all think a PPI and a solid test drive, along with the price of $7,900 is a green light, I may just be joining the club.

Get the Boxster. Save the Cayman S for a later upgrade after you've become addicted to P-cars.
