Need to know!

2000 Boxster with 103xxx for $9000. First off this price seems too good to be true, also is this alot of miles for this kind of car? Again I do not own this car just looking at it. Any help appreciated.

Sounds about right. With a Boxster, car condition and maintenance history are far more important than mileage or price.

I purchased my 2002 boxster base 5 spd for $7,300 with 141k miles. Just for reference. I did get a killer deal, but $9,000 seems like a "fair" price, maybe slightly low, but not a crazy deal.

IMHO, a little high. No one pays asking price. But you are buying in the spring and that is the worst time to be buying a convertible. We also don't know where the car is and markets can vary with location.

Condition, maintenance history, tires, Pre-Purchase Inspection by a Porsche-experienced mechanic (one who sees several a day).

For reference. I bought my 2000 2.7 with 115k miles for $7500 a year ago.

Sounds fair ! If you like it you will quickly forget the price you paid. Good luck with your choise.
