PerfectLap's comments are really solid and should be re-read for clarity for anyone buying a used S.

The other thing I don't think prospective boxster owners give enough attention to is the rear glass window in the 03's and 04's. They're selling at a premium for a reason... that glass window top doesn't require hopping out to chop the plastic in half every time you drop it to keep from creating creases that will eventually (or immediately) crack when it grows cold outside.

What a pain in the @ss! This was a major design flaw in the 97-02 Boxster if you ask me.

I'm going to stand behind my recommendation to anyone shopping for a preowned boxster. Buy an 03S or newer with low miles and a strong repair/worn out suspension replacement set of records.

The cheapest Porsche you find and purchase will become the most expensive car you've owned to date. Learn your lesson from me and a couple of other forum members here!
