Just got back from looking at two, 2,000 base Boxsters. The first was Silver, the second was Guard Red. I only drive the Red one. Both have about 60,000 on the clock. The dealer with the Silver one offered to let me take it home for a day, I passed. The Silver one just didn't bite me so I just looked and walked. The Odments hinge was busted, tires looked good.
The red one looked pretty nice on the outside. I did test drive this one, not a long drive though. The floor mats looked out of place. They hid a pretty bad carpet stain on the passengers side. Would that be from plugged drains?
I have to admit that I haven't driven a stick for 25 years. I didn't stall or grind gears but I did feel a little nervous at a stop on a hill and I don't think I was too smooth. I don't have enough recent stick time for it to feel good.
Also, I'm 6'2" and well I have big feet. It felt like I didn't have enough foot well or leg room. I checked several times, I did have the seat all the way back. Did I read somewhere that the newer models have more leg room?
@Heliguy: Your right, I'm still trying to figure it out. The low cost of the older models is attractive, but I would expect to spend more bringing it up to snuff. Plus prices on Boxsters seem to be all over the place.
