2006 Boxster 2.7/Tiptronic opinions

Let's please hear your opinions, good or bad on this particular year model. It has 45k miles, asking $21k, Atlas grey w/grey interior. I'm strongly considering this one for sale, and respect and appreciate all opinions. Thanks!

Eight years newer, more horsepower, lower miles.....you'll love it. Especially the glass back window (which was incorporated in 2003).

Clean looking, lower mileage car that is priced exactly at KBB suggested retail price.

That is a really cool color - it can look grey-ish, blue-ish, or green-ish depending on the angle and the light.

Get a PPI and use that to negotiate the price (depending on what is found). This car would be a pretty good buy under $20K.

Nice looking car (from pics) with some interesting options. You'll love the bi-xenon headlights. Interesting that it doesn't have Bose Premium. Those HVAC toggle switches all boogered up has to make it worth $500 less.

Any maintenance history available? Water pump, serpentine belt, brake flush, spark plugs, etc? With that mileage, all of those should be replaced or been replaced.

Rac Performance used to be a RUF. So better than buying from Car Max. Hopefully the car was serviced there. Anything that comes up on the PPI, have them fix it before you buy.
