Thinking of getting another Boxster or?...

[SeaNile31]

New to the forum but not to Boxster cars. I've had 4 of them and am thinking of getting another. Years ago had a 99 Boxster, put 40K miles on it with no issues, then bought an 01 S, put 30K miles on it with no issues, then an 03 S...same story and just last winter bought an 05 S, never registered it, sold it in 3 weeks and bought a Ferrari 360 Modena. Now I've sold the Fcar and think I want another Boxster S but am much more budget minded and am even thinking of an 07 350Z convert.

My budget is under $30K and I am looking for a nice well taken care of S. I'd like an 05+. The KBB and Edmunds has an 05 S with 20K miles pegged at about $25K. When I search on cars.com, etc it seems that an 05 S has an asking price of $33-36K. That's a big difference compared to the books. I really don't think I want a pre 05 S but wouldn't rule it out. Here is what I have found....2007 350Z convert with 11K miles for I think $20K. That seems like a lot of car for the price. Now I could drop to an 02/03 S for 20Kish but am not sure how an 07 Z would compare to an older 02/03 S. I know I have had the S cars before and they are awesome but am I looking something in technology and a Z with only 11K miles.

Maybe I wait till the dead of winter and see if the S prices come down?

Thanks!
