You obviously know a lot about cars and fixing them too. Keep an open mind about trying the different years. My 2001 Boxster base has a bit more power than a 99 and the S model has even more power. Some owners of the model with the 2.5 engine suit some for racing in a specific category.

On the other hand I never tried an S because I did not feel the need for more power.
Enjoy your search!

If my budget was higher I would buy newer/faster. I have another car that will satisfy need for speed, I have a motorcycle, etc.....I just want a fun sports car to drive in and enjoy it.

Heck, I was inquiring abt a couple I have seen with the Carrera engines in them.
Those are very tempting but difficult for me because I don't know who did the work etc, and then that budget thing came up again. Maybe in a couple of years I would like to buy another Boxster and do an engine swap.
