Hi Nick,

Congrats on your search and have fun with it. I just did the same search you did. However, I opted to spend a bit more to get a really nice specimen. I searched the same type of cars you did before looking into the Boxster. I had always felt Porsche was out of my league. That is until I test drove one. I was blown away by the fun factor.

When I found the one I purchased, it was love at first sight/drive and I suppose you will also go through the same. If you have reservations pass on it and find a better specimen. You really want good bones as a foundation and then update/maintain to make it your own.

Just make a list of items which are really important to you; i.e performance, well maintained, paint, color, interior, IMS, cost, reliability, service records, Carfax, etc and then go from there.

Good luck and since you found this site, your already on the winning track!
