buying a 02 986 Boxster S

[showboat33]

help guys. new to this forum

buying either a 02 986 Boxster or 01 986 Boxster S for the same price

where i live HP is not something that is too important. cuz the traffic wont allow you to go anywhere over 50km/h

what is a better choice and what should kind of things should i pay extra attention when inspecting the car before final purchase?

i am leaning towards the S simply cuz its the smae price as the 2.7 eventhough the 2.7 is a 2002....



also.. 2005 987 Boxster. is that consider a New model or face lift of 986?

as u can tell never own a Porsche so the question might seem abit amature to you guys.

is the 987 a new model like say the New 3 Series E90 of BMW or is it a facelift model of 986?... cuz use to have a 3 series.. when E46 had a facelift its model # was still E46....

but 987 looks very very similar to 986 that is why i am wondering and also want to think about resale value in 2 or 3 yrs.

thanks
