Just bought a 2001 Boxster S with 55K miles after having test driven the 2.7 and More power is always better.

Resale value on the S will be up a bit as well if its a Manual shift especially.

I now look forward to getting in the car for the morning & afternoon drive to/from work. Getting on the highway and merging with traffic is a thrill.

I set my speed warning warbler at 90mph so I can keep focus outside the car on traffic....what an incredible rush, your going to love an S even more and you will never have S envy

Of course the IMS is a concern due to the severe cost of a failure (although the frequency is low) so just plan on spending the extra ~$1000 on replacing the IMS Bearing with an LN replacement for the peace of mind or just spend a bit more for the non IMS model.

I suppose there is also the IMS Failure Guardian that detects ferrous metal in the engine oil when things like metal bearing cages start to disintegrate prior to bearing failure.
