This looks to be a decent example - 50k miles - https://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/5603239881.html

I wasn't aware they made the S model in 1999.

That car in the ad was manufactured in November 1999 and I expect that it is a 2000 model actually.
Here's a clip of a picture in the ad:

Also, the owner is not likely very detail oriented and may not know a lot about these cars. "Porch":


I have seen plenty of Non-S Boxsters that had 'S' badges added and other items swapped over. I had an S style bumper on one of my '99s and have a trunk lid on a 99 that was originally from an S and is now de-badged. Before you go look at a car that is suspect, GET THE VIN and check it. An S model VIN starts with: WP0CB... , Base model starts with WP0CA.
I bought a 2000 S that was in need of some work and discovered it had a 1997 2.5L engine in it rather than a 3.2.
Caveat emptor.
