MikeMcMo, may I make a suggestion?

Save your money, add more to it, and keep looking for a pampered low mileage 2003-2004 S model.

I sure wish I had done just that when I bought my high mileage 1997 in 2004. I've dumped so much money into the car getting it into shape I could have easily purchased a much newer one with a bigger motor and lower miles had I waited two years and saved the money I dumped into my current Boxster. The older cheaper Porsche you buy today will undoubtedly become the most expensive car you'll ever own until you move up to Ferraris....

Learn from my mistakes.
