Thinking of buying a Boxster

[jdlmodelt]

I bought my 99 2.5l last summer and have not regretted it. Mine had 57k when I bought it but I felt good knowing the PO replaced the blown engine with a Porsche factory rebuilt engine in 2008 with 37k on the car. So I bought it with 20k on a 2008 engine with the larger Porsche bearing fix for the IMS. It's super clean, handles like nothing else, gets 30mpg and since its the 200HP engine, I don't get in trouble but still accelerate fairly quickly with the 5 speed manual. I paid $12,500 for mine. new tires and alignment all the way around.

It's a 97 2.5 with 35k miles. I know it's a needle in a haystack kind of failure, but how worried should I be?

This will be my first p-car. I'm seriously giddy at the thought of owning one.

So, as a newb, I beg you to talk me into buying this sweet little car.
