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
Garv, I've been fantasizing about this one and it's in your neighborhood! https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/2004-porsche-boxster-with/6602487146.html
