The first click should be the sticky

We all started as new, and don't be afraid to ask questions, searches don't always bring up everything. The best advice is to drive several Boxsters, there are a lot of them out there, some well cared for, some not. Be patient and you will find "the one." Get the newest one you can afford, and get a PPI! It will tell you the condition and will give you some negotiation points. Look at your local PCA classifieds, Excellence magazine, the classifieds on this forum, eBay, AutoTrader, craigslist, etc, watch them all. Find a local independent Porsche mechanic, first for your PPI, second, he may know of someone looking to sell. Don't be afraid to travel to get the right one, I traveled from Ft Worth, Texas to Atlanta for mine. Good luck on your search, and post prospects here and you will get opinions on whether to buy it or not.
