Last year the local used car dealer put a 2001 Boxster S up for sale at a price that seemed amazing to us, 60K miles and $9,999. We never knew that it was possible to purchase a usable Porsche for that little money. After driving by it for weeks we finally decided to take a look at it and for a test drive. It was clear a car that had been parked outside. Fogged headlights and cracked driver seat plus some fading, but heck, for $9,999 it would be a blast. We both got completely hooked on the test drive and I went to our local Porsche indie to arrange a PPI. After making the appointment I asked if he knew of other Boxsters for sale and he said he only had one, the one he was using as his daily driver. Did I want to take it for a test drive? Sure! What a difference. This 2004 S had clearly been looked after, and it had a service history. It also had a TuneRS DOF IMS replacement. Even though it was $14,500 and had 104K miles on the clock there was no doubt this was a better value, so be bought it and haven't looked back.
