Which Boxster is best? Three choices for everyone to ponder!

Hello All!

This is my first post (of hopefully many). I've been checking out all of the threads and trying to do my homework but basically I am down to 3 Boxsters that I like and I need your help. Here are the links to each car, my take on them, and then please feel free to give me your two cents! It would mean so much to me to have everyone's help, guidance, and experience behind my purchase.

Please help guide me in terms of what price I should bargain for, feelings about this model year/particular car, and any general advice I might have missed.

I will say in advance that whatever car I choose I am taking to a local specialist for a ppi.

Thank you all in advance.

Car #1

One owner. 2 minor accidents reported on carfax (both parking lot fender benders). I have some reservations about 2002 models, they weren't consumer reports favorite year and I seem to have come across a few of them on engine failure theads. Interior of car is immaculate.

Car #2

Clean carfax. 3 owners. Haven't test driven yet but from pictures looks to be in great shape. 2000s seem to be good years and the mileage is good but 3 owners and such relatively low mileage is a touch concerning. Current owner used this as a second vehicle and said the previous owner had an extended warranty on it.

Car #3

This one looks great from the outside. Has a bit of tire wobble that seemed to diminish during the test drive. Steering wheel and the place where your hand would rest when shifting gears are both worn which makes me worry a bit. Otherwise I think the year is good in terms of reliability from my research and I love the appearance.

So what is everyone's opinion? School me!
