How close is KBB for REAL Porsche Value?

BigShow - It's a darn shame we aren't closer to one another because you seem like the sort of buyer that I'd like to connect with.

the only issue with using ims and whatnot to haggle, is that there will always be some idiot that just wants a cheap porsche and the seller will know that.

I might be that idiot, but my main concern is reducing my financial risk. The purchase price for a 1999-2001 Boxster is low, low for me. But it looks like it can be an iceberg. The purchase price is the thing you see above the waterline, everything else is below. I don't expect a new, maintenance free experience with a 14 year old car, but I want to know what those risks are.

Consumables, brakes, gas, oil, tires, and rotors are expenses that are easy to predict and plan for. Paying for a motor replacement/rebuild on a 60,000 mile car would be disappointing.

RaisedOnPorsches' listing shows me what's above and below the water line. I'd still do a PPI.

RaisedOnPorsches listing is about perfect, a great example. Cool roof rack plus a hard top. I could put my wakesurf boards on the roof rack. Yes, too bad your on the Left Coast.
