The search has ended. Yesterday I picked up a 2003 Boxster Base with 38k miles. Actually ended up finding one less than 20 miles from my house. It is now parked in my garage. Thanks for all the various pointers and guidance. This one has not had any IMS solution installed so that it up first. I drove it home but the next time it moves will be to drive over to the shop I select to do the work.
It is in great shape. It was owned by a lady whose husband is a mechanic and who did most of the maintenance on it. It looks to be in great shape inside and out. Just PA inspected with four brand new Michelins on it. New brakes up front. Everything works as it is supposed to. I am quite pleased.
Again thanks for all the input.
A.
