Nutty, I've no idea what your financial condition is, but let me give you some advice. I bought a 1997 boxster with 84k on it in 2003 for $15,500.
To date, I have put $25,000 in it to maintain it and freshen up the interior and headlamps, etc.
So I now have a $40k+ car that I can only get $7,500 for on a good day.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR:
Save more money. Delay gratification on this purchase. Find a low miles 2003 or 2004 S model that has been babied its whole life and you'll love your purchase and spend your time driving it instead of fixing it or worrying about everything that can and WILL break on you with the high mileage, hard driven 1997-1999 models.
These are not built like classic Porsches. The first model year boxsters were made with really crappy plastic parts and they all fall apart sooner than later and most owners don't spend the huge wads of cash to fix things like the oil filler tube (plastic) and on and on and on it goes.
If I had only listened to this advice...learn from my mistake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
