Good place to find accurate Boxster values?

Thanks guys, appreciate your advice.

Everyone thinks a car with low mileage is priceless! They are asking a lot for the one I'm looking at. I don't mind paying a premium as long as everything checks out.

I've already asked for the engine number as I want to validate the original engine.

Would it be popular consensus here to perform certain preventative maintenance on a low mile car if purchased.....such as water pump, RMS/IMS, AOS? Let me know what many would require must do's on a low mileage car after a PPI checks out.

I was also considering having the IMS Solution installed whatever Boxster I buy. I like the idea of a more permanent solution such as the oil fed plain bearing.

Really appreciate all the input and advice here guys. Thanks so much!!!!

What do you want the car for? Daily driver, weekend cruise, AX or track...? The 99 and earlier models all have a 2.5L engine, which is fun and fine for me, but may not be fitting for "Speedingbullitt". For the same money you may find a higher mile 'S' model with a 3.2L engine.

Prices are all over the place, and you may even save thousands by buying a car from a few hundred miles away. Look at the classified section here and see some of the "Sold" deals.

Here's a quick way to see the asking prices in the Dallas market:

I think you want to go with the what the Porsche mechanics would advise. If you by popular consensus most Porsche owners never think about the water pump until it lets go and they wait until it's clutch time to do the IMS retrofit. I believe most Porsche mechanics will tell you this is wrong on both accounts. The water pump is a calendar item, and the IMS on a extremely low mileage car is prime candidacy for an IMS failure, if that oil has not been frequently changed (less than once a year). Along with the AOS, these are the three parts that can take down the engine if they fail while driving.
