Base or S Model

[Carlisabadman986]

There are advantages to the S, but if you are buying a 15 year old Porsche there are more important things to consider.

My suggestion is to buy the best Boxster you can find in your price range and don't worry about if it is an S or not.

When you say more important things to consider!
What are you referring to?

I'm hoping to alleviate any mistakes if possible.

Thanks

Just chiming in :

Last week I swapped out my 2001 base for a 2006 S.

First, very difficult to do. I truly loved my 'mistress' the 2001. Oriental red, beautiful car, wonderful daily driver. 175,000 miles.

The 2006 S is incredible. The same, but so different in the subtle ways you know your lover. Refined cockpit, sculpting on the body, and the 3.2 engine sings with more passion.

Prices are coming down on the 987's, and the S models drive with more enthusiasm with the power out of the corners and the brakes going in. The brakes really are much improved.

Not that I ever tell my girl to stop.
