Well, I'll likely be driving it around 5k to 7k miles a year.

I just came back from looking at the 2002 car with 19k miles. Equipment included are:
- Sport package (not sure what this includes, but the car has 17" wheels 205/50, 255/40)
- Heated seats
- PSM
- wind defector
- Car looks in great shape, no dings

- No Xenon
- 15,000 mile maintenance not done
- Tires appear to be original ones, so they need to be replaced
- Rear window is foggy

-Power steering was replaced under warranty within the last year
- oil changes were done
-PPI okay with seller, who seems to be a very nice guy

- MSRP was $56k+
- Certified Porsche Warranty until 12/08
- At $24k, is this a bargain, fair deal or bad deal?

More questions: the RMS failures, are they limited to certain years or are all the Boxsters affected by it? If RMS fails, what cost am I looking at? Any other major cost issues?

Here is the other car...under Boxsters, 2nd ad from top (as of now)
