I think Mn has it right. I was not even looking for a Boxster until a friend who works at a Porsche dealership introduced me to my current car. He said "if you ever wanted a Porsche I've got a great intro car for you." It happened to be a '97 with ridiculous low miles. It had the PPI and records and I use it for a daily driver. I have put 3,000 miles on the car with no issues so far. It's been driven in snow, sub-zero weather and has been flawless to date. I do anticipate there will be issues, but for the price I will deal with them when they arise. There is simply nothing like finding excuses to drive the car whenever I can. Find the best car you can afford and treat it with respect. Don't abuse it, let it warm up before you drive with "spirit", and be prepared to invest in its future. I have no regrests buying an old one and I plan to keep it all original. Good luck!
