Hello All,

I am in the market for buying a boxster S and can probably afford an 00-02 with low miles which is what I would prefer. There are not many to test drive in my area, so I drove an 04 S and loved it. Currently there is an 01 S with 12,454 miles that is from out of town that I am considering buying. Is there a significant difference between these 2 cars that I would notice performancewise? I know from 02 to 03 there was an increase of about 8 hp from 250 to 258. Has anyone had any experience driving an 03-04 and an 2000-2002? Any noticeable difference in the performance?

Thanks for your help and guidance,
Greg
