Ditto on Wintermute's comments. He's right on with all of it.

The car is just about the most-fun car I have every owned, and I wouldn't trade my little black money pit for anything, but I gotta say the reliability of these cars has a great deal to do with their age. Buying a 2-3 year old model will yield many happy days of trouble-free driving without check engine lights, leaks, or squeaks.

Getting into one "cheap" by buying an old one with high mileage will be anything but reliable. Search the threads for my posts to learn how I know this so well!

Click the links I set up for boxster-lookers like you. It should be helpful.
