Looks nice. Consider the rear window damage just part of tradeoff of getting an older cheaper boxster. Know that motor could blow/fail... and I'd have the RMS/IMS replaced by an indy, while you're in there might want to do the clutch too. Soooo $8500 (local price) you'll end up adding $2k in those items. Or just roll the dice and don't spend more than the absolute minimum to keep the wheels rolling.

The question with these is always whether to spend the $17-$21k to get a nice 03-04 with low mileage, or spend $10k and roll the dice for the last $10k.
