While you may be hesitant to buy an older low mileage car, make sure that main oil seal is not leaking. Along with the suggested PPI, you should be fine.

I did exactly that with my '01 and it's...

My '01 Box just hit 60,000 miles so it was time to do this job. I found it easier to thread the belt through everything except the bottom left idle roller. That way I could...

For what it's worth...

I bought Kumho Ecsta ASX for my '01 Box. They said they had a 30,000 mile warranty and that's almost exactly what I got - 30,000 miles before I had to replace them.

I found the hole on the left side just inside the gas door. The guide rose fit right back in there. No more nasty sound when I lock the doors.

I'd get a Carfax on the Box first to get some extra history on the car but the way the economy is right now, I'd say if the car is in as great of shape as you're saying, it's a good deal.

Honestly?...

I love the 550 Spyder inspired design much more than the 911. A Boxster has beautiful curves unlike just about every car produced that has hard edges in the body (i.e. BMW Z3).
