what do you guys think about this one? is it much of the difference between 2000 and 2003?
2003 Porsche Boxster S
Interesting that 40K additional miles of wear and tare still puts you in the same general price point simply because its 3 years newer despite the car being 90% the same as the much lower mileage 2000 S.

My Boxster S had barely 9K on the odometer, it was literrally showroom condition as that's where it was sitting when I came in to check it out. So I passed on newer Boxster S's to go for the mileage. Thus defying the conventional Porsche wisdom of "buy the newest Porsche you can afford".
I think the wisdom should be dictated by "how many miles do you plan to put on the car?". The odometer range of 10K to 50K seems to be the most trouble free as early issues have been ressolved in warranty and most major items are good for at least 40K miles.
