I have heard on more than one occasion that I should try to get newer the better. when did the 987 series start? I feel like I should focus on that one or newer. Generally speaking, what makes the difference in the 987 and can you tell by looking at it what generation it is?
The Boxster 987 started in 2005.

Porsche said the 987 was 80% re-designed vs. the 986.

Yes, you can visually tell the difference between the two, but you need to know what to look for. The biggest give-away are the side vents. The 987's are larger and triagular in shape.
