Hi guys,

Looking to buy a Porsche Boxster obviously. First gen or anything within the 5k price range. Preferably under, as I’ve been able to find a few under already, but if you have a great condition one within reasonable price, do give me a shout. Not too concerned with miles unless it’s on its last leg at 300k+!

I’m up in NorCal, willing to drive a bit, 3 hours?

Thanks!

Edit: Must be a manual!

I appreciate the pointer. Unfortunately Boston is a little far from California. Thanks again.

Yeah, I saw this one, not too sure I could handle the maintenance physically and cost effectively. Thanks again

You're welcome and I understand. If I wasn't at the opposite end of the country I'd pick the seller's brain a bit, and maybe take a gamble. Who knows, it could be as simple as a bad AOS, or as bad as a motor in need of a rebuild.
