Wow! Just as Im getting frustrated in not finding a Boxster yet, this thread suddenly comes alive. Im already considering getting an 05' C230 or an E46 cabrio, I guess its a sign for me to keep looking for a Boxster.
Jseller, looks like you got a great deal on a nice very low mileage car. It even has the nice shift knob and hand brake lever. I'd be tickled pink to find a car just like yours.
You're in OC? I found a car on Autotrader thats in Cost Mesa, I'm just not up to driving close to 100 miles round trip just to check it out.
Ive found about 4 or 5 cars I like but there is always a thing or two about them thats stopping me from pulling the trigger.
Car#1: 00' midnight blue on black, 37K miles, $21.5K obo, service history, great condition. But I'm not too crazy about the color combo, tad boring and I'd prefer a lighter exterior color so its easier to maintain. And its had 4 owners already.
Car#2: 01' lapis blue on gray, 38k miles, $19K, tip with nice tip shift knob and handbrake lever, white gauges, great condition, complete records, manuals, car cover, original window sticker, power seats with lumbar etc... 2nd owner. Was about to buy this one till a Carfax showed it had some kind of collision in 03'.
Car#3: 00' silver on gray, $19.5K obo, 35K miles, good condition, 1st owner, but no CD, no door speakers and only has 16" wheels. Has a bit more scuffs in the door handles and center console than the other cars.
Car#4: 00' silver on blue, full leather, $19.5K obo, 43K miles, interior in great condition, 1st owner, 17" sport classics, service history. But the owner showed me receipts of some body and paint work from fender benders. Even the hood and one of the headlights was replaced, must have been some fender bender.
Car#5: 00' midnight blue on cashmere, 36K miles, looks like its in good condition in the pics I got from the dealer. Plus it has 18" turbo look wheels and litronics. But I'm not too sure if I like the wood shifknob, handbrake lever and the surround around the radio and a/c control unit. Plus its 50 miles away from me.
Thanks for the words of encouragement, my search continues.
