Thumbs up Preowned Boxster Advice

Hello I am new to this forum as of yesterday, I have wanted a boxster since 99 and have not gotten to it due to practicality reasons. I currently own a 01 C4, a Cayenne, and a Ducati 750SS. As i have already bought 2 porsches in the past couple of months, I am short on cash, plus I want to do some mods, so I am looking to get a good boxster with very low mileage for somewhere around $20K. I hope to have patience and wait till I see a very good deal. Now I know 97-99 have 2.5liters 201hp, and 00-04 have 2.7 217hp with variocam. I would prefer to get a 2.7 but if I find a clean 2.5, I will probably jump on that. Now I know that by looking at the last number of the VIN I can tell if it was made in stuttgart or in Finland. Should I be concerned if it was made in Finland? Maybe some of you guys have some advice in some problkems to llok out for when looking at a boxster. I would also like to tell whoever Jfmillr that your car lloks out of hand with those gemballa side skirts with air channel and doing that Gemballa rear bumper with the integrated exhaust in the back. Did you get that GT2 look front bumper from nrauto? anyways it looks out of hand and when I do get a boxster apart from an intake and fabspeed bypass pipes whats next to do on my list is that GT2 llok front bumper, however I have seen it with techart side skirts and I like those too, cant decide, but I gotta get the car first and also finish all my mods on my other porsches. Anyways your advice on finding a used boxster will be greatly apreciated, should I look for one with under 30k miles? What are the raclls on those first year models, and are there any common problems with these you guys have experienced. Thanks
