Those wheels look like the same ones I have in black. Cheap ebay ones. They look nice but are heavy

I purchased my 2000S two years back and paid $15,700 plus tax. Mine was a one owner with 62K on the clock. It is completely stock and that is how I will keep it. I have put about $1800 in it, like new tires, rotors & pads, brake flush, filters, oil change and servicing the Tip. Love the car.

OH, I just had a new GAAH top installed at a cost of $1450.00

Thanks everyone for all the advice (my wife thanks you too!).
I decided to pass on this particular boxster as it was out of my budget. After driving it, I let my emotions get the better of my decision making. I'm going to take my time and find the right boxster that fits my budget—and re-evalute what I will be doing with the vehicle once I get it.

I want a weekend driver that I can slowly personalize to my needs and tastes.

Scott, There will be people getting rid of their "summer" cars soon. Keep you'd eyes open on craisglist and ebay for cities around you that you can drive/fly to and get a good deal.
