This one has a blue leather interior. It's interesting how getting the options you want still jacks up the price on a 13 year old car.
sounds suspicious to me. Who would buy an 11 year old car and never drive it.
I would recommend looking for a lower mileage car or at least one with substantial records from a seller I could speak to freely about their driving habits and the work performed.
A PPI is vital, but you should still factor in repairs that come without warning (known Boxster weak spots) as well as doing the IMS upgrade to the asking prices since 80K miles about where many clutches start to go.
