Hi guys and gals!

I hope this is the right place to post this on here, if not apologies in advance, but I'm about to take the Boxster plunge. I've dreamed of owning a Porsche since I as learning to fly in high school and my flight instructor would let me take my girlfriend (now wife) out in his 911SC. I have no practical aspirations for this car, just pure, unadulterated fun with the top down.

So anyway, I've found a local car, a 2001 S with less than 25k on it. I've read all the reviews on the sites like Cars.com and KBB, but to be honest they all read like fluff in the Sunday paper. I know the car will be fun and quick, I know it will have phenomenal handling and braking, and I know people will like to look at it. So a friend of a friend suggested signing up here to get a little input. Any particular bugs I should look for in this car, and what kind of price would be reasonable for this car? It's a 6 speed in the kind of condition you would expect for a little over 20k.

Thanks in advance for any input, suggestions, or tips!

Nick
