2003 Boxster S, 65k miles, 16.5k....seems like a good deal...

Even though i didn't get the S but i did get an 03 with similar mileage and the items I'd check - besides the PPI - would be:

* clutch: when was the last time the clutch was replaced?
* rear tire wear: this should be on the PPI and not cheap to replace these babies
* water pump: when was the last time it was changed? not sure if the PPI looks for leaks around the water pump, so might be worthwhile to ask.

that's all the biggies i can think of for now.

If it comes back with a good report from the PPI, it sounds like a good deal. They had an 03 S at another dealer when I bought my 03 base with about the same miles as the one you are looking at. The 03 S was priced 5k more than the base but was not as well optioned( 5sp only,no heated seats or PSM) and the base already had the PPI done for me by the dealer that bought it used. He knew I was looking for one and wanted to make sure it was ok before he bought it and sold it to me. I have purchased cars from him for years and I can testify that he is honest and stands behind the cars he sells. I saw the Boxster when he brought it in and test drove it before he could get it cleaned up for showing, I bought it two days later. It has over 71k miles on it now and still runs fine.
