I just bought my black/black 2000 2.7 last year. It had 18k miles (19k now). I paid $18k for it which was probably high, but it was from a friend of mine that was the original owner and to say he babied it would be an understatement. He even wiped out the wheel wells every time he parked it back in the garage.

It has never been a daily driver, so I can't really comment on it always looking dirty because it has never seen rain or snow. Dust is my only problem. I can tell you that I truly enjoy spending time cleaning it in the driveway and watching my neighbors turn green with envy. It may get dirty easily, but that is the price worth paying for it looking so sweet when it is clean! If you've done your homework on it you won't regret it!

Congrats!

Congrats on the buy...I've owned numerous black on black 911s and swore I would not buy a black Boxster; well my Box S is black with Savanna, so at least I was partly on track. They are a pain to keep clean, but look so nice when so.

Enjoy the car; cleaning and polishing is part of the fun. BTW, you might try Craigslist on the Kia...that's where I found my son's Jeep Liberty.

well, i hope to get my money today. then i hope to get "boxey" tomorrow. weather very iffy.i hope my scan II guage will hook right up to the sensor under the dash. the present owner said that when i put the top down im supposed to hesitate halfway down to make sure the plastic window is folding right??? true? tomorrow afternoon im hoping to register it and all that good stuff.

[unklekraker]

yes, mrfred..you gonna have to do the chop like everyone else here who has plastic windows

If you don't:
-overtime, it will leave a 1" or 2" rip in either mid corners or middle of the plastic windoe
-if the weather is cold and you didn't do the chop, it might crack the plastic

There's a lot of topic here regarding your concern. Search the thread "Plastic Window or Chop"

Here are some of them to keep you inform but not to scare you

thanks unk. tim was showing me the headlights. i could swear that you cn do one headlight at a time (huh??). im very conscious of being seen so all my vehicles i run the headlights in the day as well. im afraid i know the answer, but ar the headlights auto turn off ??

[unklekraker]

I don't think you could do one headlight at a time and it's not auto turn off. plus you don't need to turn your headlight on during daytime coz' with that car..they could see you a mile away
