Totaled...looking towards the future
About two months ago, I rear ended a 1980's Dodge Ram and crushed the front of my Boxster. I found out last week that it is in fact going to be considered total. The insurance is paying $9500 for it, which is exactly what I paid for it two years ago.
In the state I was in, I should not have been driving, but I still did. I'm just thankful that nobody was injured, and the truck was completely unharmed. I am thinking about getting a Boxster, this time knowing the things I didn't know last time. My budget has been raised to around 18k. I'm wondering if I should buy a Boxster S in mint condition, or if I should get the 987 base model.
If I end up not buying a Boxster, I'm thinking of getting another sports car, maybe a sports sedan. I've looked at M3's, M5's, and Audi S4's. Do you guys have any other suggestions?

I'd say look for a nice 996 convertible.... I found a perfect, one owner, all service record, service done at the dealer, 5k in wear parts replaced, etc.... fully loaded to the brim from Porsche of Scottsdale in AZ for a price near your budget.
Just keep your eyes open, I loved my boxster, but I fell in love with the 996 after I test drove one.

You can get a very nice '03 or '04 Box-S for that price, but not mint.
987's are not really into that price range yet. Sure, you might be able to find a high mileage one here or there, but for the most part, the early 987's are still in the mid-20's.
