99 Boxster

Kriss,
Do yourself a favor, do more looking around and you will find a much much better one than a 99 with an IMS issue... if you can budget between $15 to $19k, there's plenty of Boxsters and if i were you i would only settle for an "S", no offense to those with a non "S'.. don't get so hunged up on low mileage, it could work against your favor... Research pays off... You're on the right site, just let your finger do the walking, if you know what i mean !
Good Luck on your purchase.....

I just looked at a really clean 99 with 30,000 in KS and he was asking $13,500 with no service history. I felt that was a little high due to the unknown history of the car. I have seen S models sale for less than $19,000 if I were you I would keep looking. It would be nice to buy a car with less than 30,000 on it but you need to realise that some of these low mile cars are over 10 years old and age can put wear and tear on parts just the same as mileage, most certainly on the rubber parts. Parts that keep the oil in the motor and grease in the CV joints. Look for a car with a good servive history. And it would be nice to find one that had at least one oil change each year wether it was driven much or not. Do your research on the IMS.
