I'm still searching for the right one and I've come across a 2003 Boxster with low miles on it. It is a silver automatic. Is there really any big advantages over that one vs older models or manuals? I know the control difference between manual and automatic, but like with recurring problems in older models? I've strayed away from 97s because I've heard that they had the most problems. I really want a nice, shiny black boxster and I've found some with low miles but are older than the 2003 model. Would it be worth it to get over the color and go for the 03 or is it better for me to spring for the color I want but in an older model?
