Save up and get an S with some warranty on it of some kind. The most recent ones have glass back windows which is super nice.
The owners of this board sell Boxsters... and offer list participants deals before they attempt to sell the cars to strangers. Keep an eye on posts they leave with inventory.
I would not trust just any seller when it comes to Boxsters. With a "hidden" engine, it's too easy to sell something sight unseen. Case in point, the guy who bought my car at auction in Miami and sold it to me one week later had no idea it had a brand new engine put in it just DAYS before it went to auction... he sold it to me thinking it had an original engine with 82k on it.
