I am considering a red,5spd,'99 boxster with 21,000 miles in vgc...the asking price is $19,000+ which the owner concedes is high. any idea what a fair price is..the car doesn't seem to have optional packages other than cruise control,leather seats,power drivers seat.....also, a local porsche mechanic indicated to me that the internal rear bearing is not a lubricated kind and tends to need replacement with the updated lubricated type at around 35k miles-$1500...have you found that to be true? I have owned miatas but this would be a first porsche.thanks.
