Buy the youngest, low mileage S you can find. I'd take a low mileage stock gargage queen over a modified high mileage boxster any day. If you have not driven an S, you should do so before settling on a non-S.

I have a basic boxster and its underpowered. I always see S's around and wonder how much better it would be if I had waited.

I also wish I had bought some guy's garage queen instead of a third hand daily driver.

Prices? Go to a good bookstore and buy a copy of Excellence. The most recent issue has an excellent market report on what to look for, and current prices.

Thanks for the input, your site has been usefull too.

What would be considered high mileage for a Boxster?

If I can find an S priced very near non-S territory then I will go for it. But I'm not willing to pay much of a premium for an S. I just want an affordable fun to drive convertible that I can use as everyday transport.

Thanks again.

I'm planning to sell mine since my wife and I just had a baby girl and my 2 seater is causing a lot of problem for me. It's an '00 S silver although it has 67K miles. If interested, let me know.
