Advice on buying my first boxster - 2001 for $19,500

[xxxalexxxx]

I think you can get a better deal if you keep looking ( maybe you'll have to look outside of your state) but I got my boxster for much cheaper then 19k. I think its not hard at all to find a good 2001 boxster for about 16k maybe even less if you can negotiate the price down...especially now i think its a buyers market at least where i'm located.

Also, if you're going to own a boxster you have to remember that maintenance is very important and if you have some knowledge about cars and are willing to fix things yourself its not expensive at all to own. On the other hand, if you decided to go to the dealer for everything, it would probably cost you a few thousand a year. Don't let that scare you into not buying it though because thats what this forum is for. There are many knowledgeable people here who can help you if anything goes wrong. Just remember it is a 7 yr old car so you might incur some problems along the way and be prepared for them.

good luck
