My question after reading some info below is what are some of the "fixes" I should look at and consider doing? I've read something about the following:
1. Original convertible top transmission cables stretch and cause a $1200 problem and should be replaced with the reinforced ones.
2. Is there an issue with the coolant resevoir in the rear trunk?
Any other things I should be aware of in factoring in the price of car? If there are things that are "must do's", I'd like to know and figure in pricing. Thanks for any info.

Sometimes the coolant reservior will crack and leak (NOT A MUST DO). It happend to me a month ago with my 2000 Boxster S 48,000 miles. Cost me $600 (includes part) from a good Porsche mechanic
www.herg.net and I bought the part for $150. They're a pain in the ass to get out.
Here's a MUST DO:
Be sure it had the 30,000 mile service done.....that's about $800-$1100 right there.
