Thanks Husker! Yeah, CarMax gave the seller a verbal "over-the-phone"offer pending the whole 1.5 hr actual inspection. I strongly suspect that once the car goes through CarMax's inspection, it will be valued in the $6-7K range, for what it is worth, the seller knows this too...he just hasn't faced the "music" yet.

I think for Boxsters in general, CarGuru's analysis won't make sense, because things like IMS replacement, routine maintenance get overlooked, while low mileage is prioritized.

While I am in love with the idea of the 2000 S, I am also aware that I will be underwater on it once I get all of the cosmetics/maintenance items addressed. So, if I tire of the car sooner (rather than later), I will be the chump taking the financial hit... LOL
