Pretty much, just one. I found two 97 Boxsters using cars dot com and couldn't get my schedule in sync with with one of them. Both were the same price, same mileage, same condition. So I looked at one and bought it up.

It was my first P-car, so I didn't know what to look for other than what you normally look for when buying a used car. Had I read all the IMS warnings, I probably would have ended up with a Chevy Cobalt.

I got lucky though. 3 years and 24k miles, and I'll I have had to replace was the clutch, alternator, and the tensioner that just fell off last month. The clutch was the only 'major' repair, but I knew when I bought it at 68k miles that the clutch was original.

I have a feeling that this won't be my last P-car and I'll be wiser when I purchase my next one. Mainly because I really don't want to drive a Chevy Cobalt.
