Is this a good deal? '00 S for $10.5k

If it made you feel any better .. I bought mine about 3 yrs ago @ $25k. The price of early Boxsters have really gone down the tube .. doubt it will sink much lower any time soon. You're probably safe enjoying it for a year without losing too much. Just make sure to sell her in the spring when demands are high.

sound like a good buy - go for it!

For the sake of another data point. I have a 2000S that I purchased in the summer of 2008 for $15,300. The car had 76K miles at the time.

The car now has 102K and has been a blast to drive. It is garage kept but not a garage queen. It is not perfect by any stretch but I do get plenty of folks who are surprised that the car is 12 years old.

I figure the car is worth right around the $10.5K (+/- $500) you are looking at.

BTW, that looks like a really nice Boxster! I hope you get it and enjoy it this summer.

I say if a PPI checks out relatively decent jump all over that deal, to me that is an absolute steal, I would never never even consider a price that low for my 02 S (based on selling and listing prices in my area)

Apparently it was a good deal. The seller called me and said he wants to hold off for a better offer. So, I'm still looking.

He'll be calling you back. Be patient.

Buy it. Life's too short. Buy it and enjoy it.

My $10k Boxster has been great. I bought it at 90k with a fresh motor/trans installed. It's had several issues, but nothing that would've made me reconsider buying it - I've probably thrown $1000 in parts at it, plus lots of my own labor (I have access to a lift though...)

I still think I got a better deal than I would've on a low mileage 15-20k garage queen, plus I have no qualms about beating the snot out of mine. If it blew up tomorrow, I'd have gotten my money's worth (see my one year anniversary post).
