Everyone has pretty well answered your question. I would only add that you should buy the best car you can afford or want to budget for. IF Boxster, then.....

The are several Boxster changes to consider like the glass rear window in 03. The 987 in 05. And which options you'd have to have and which are just nice to have.

Me - I had to have an S with 6spd, heated seats, cruise control and Carrera lites. Oh yeah, and black or basalt over Savanna or grey.

Litronics, Bose, auto A/C were nice to haves. Some options are easy to add after the fact. Others are too hard, too expensive or impossible.
