What I'm hearing is "Calm down, look at a lot of cars, pay for a PPI and laser alignment, and choose a Porsche certified car with a warranty. Once you own the car, be prepared because repairs are expensive."

Sounds like good advice. If I may be so bold, I'm wondering which is the best price guide. I've checked KBB, NADA and Consumer Reports. I know for my current car (94 Miata M Edition) that those guides are not entirely accurate. The one person I know who owns a Boxster used the Consumer Report Guide and was happy with his deal. Because I'm new to this forum, is it considered bad form to ask others for their opinons about the price of a particular car?

Of course, I realize that I will be playing in a different league if I move from a Miata to a Boxster. An eight-year old Miata with 17,000 miles and a new engine would be snatched up very quickly at about half its original MSRP. It seems that a Boxster with that mileage and history is considered a risk.
