Regardless of what year boxster or iteration that you're looking at, make sure that you have a thorough PPI done before making a purchase . The greatest concern with the M96 (1997-2004) and the M97 (2005-present) engines is failure of the IMS bearing . This concern is legion amongst Boxster and Carrera owners, and contrary to mileage or condition it does not discriminate between vehicles. There's a preemptive measure that one can take to prevent this . I suggest searching the Forum and reading up on the topic .
