Good Afternoon,

I am wanting to purchase a pre owned Boxster for my weekend car to pair with my 13 BMW 550i. I have followed the form regular for about six months or so and have gained what I feel is great knowledge from all here. My question is, where do you guys feel is the best place to search for these cars. Obviously IMS is a concern, and would love to have one that has already had an IMS Solution done, but that is not an ultimate deal breaker. Currently I have been tracking Craigslist locally, Autotrader, and car gurus as a few. Most these sites seem to have mainly cars that are located at dealers with little history, and I think it would be more beneficial to locate one from an individual seller would it not? Looking for something in the 2001-2004 range, and currently in Texas which I have heard is still a hot market for these cars. Presume this might not be the best place to find a deal. In no rush, and have read that winter might be a better time to buy.

Really just looking for an advice from you guys and your thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

All the best
