Buying a Boxster - Priorities in the hunt

[SJEFFB986]

There is one thing for absolute certain in my opinion. You will either love whatever Boxster you buy or you will hate it..I love mine since it's been trouble free, relatively easy to work on and drives and looks beautiful. But if you have any major problems I can see regretting the purchase. Best of luck!

For me - I love my cruise control, although suspect all the S's have that option? And I love my music while cruising - so the bose surround system with the sub was important to me. (the base stereo is not overly strong - the high end Bose is actually pretty good IMO)

I do have access to a lift if its a local sale. I can see the benefit of the Bose, as I've also seen some really bad aftermarket installs on a few cars when attempting to upgrade.

I can see your viewpoint, although I tend to look at problems as a reason to improve, and they turn into longer term projects - as once you are in there, why not upgrade!
