The car was a 1 owner car and was from the area I live in but was bought at auction by an out of state dealer that I bought it from. I do have the original paperwork from the dealer the car was sold new at and the window sticker. The car sold for around $46K new and was delivered in June 1998 and was ordered by the buyer in Feb. 1998. I bought it sight unseen except for photos, there was some paint work done and it still has a lot of parking lot dings and some minor dents. It runs and drives very nice though. I replaced the top so far, front brake pads and sensors, floor mats, and had the immobilzer box repaired. I haven't driven the car very much so I guess time will tell as far as any repairs it will need. I think I got a fair deal on it, I was disappointed with all the little dings though even though the dealer did mention it, he seemed like an honest person.

The car was perfectly detailed, pristine condition, new set of Pilots, almost all records, maintained by the book, not a scratch on it. I've put 11,000 miles on it (stored in winter) and, aside from two oil changes, have only had to replace the cap on the coolant container. The only thing that would make it better would be if we'd only get some top-down weather.

I'm not sure how to judge the mechanical condition. It needed a headlight, 4 tires and a clutch, but I knew that going in.

The plan going in was to drive it for 3 years and sell it and buy something responsible. I'm not ready to buy something responsible yet.

PPI revealed needed brakes (rotors and pads) and ignition coils. Knocked 2K off the 14K asking price for that. I also had the IMS, RMS, AOS and a few other things sorted once purchased.

I’m probably the ‘winner’ here as far as most paid.. Oh well. It was very well cared for; the first owner put maybe 3k miles on it. The second owner only had it for 18 months and put a lot of money into during that time.

Options: full leather, IMSB fix, PSM, heated seats, litronics, Bose speakers (Stereo then upgraded by previous owner), wind deflector, extra rear fog light.

I'll go:

02 S:
Purch: Oct 2016, 56k $12,100.00

all the "right stuff" done, complete docs to include original Porsche sales paraphernalia... although not sure about IMS. Overall excellent condition, Wheels Dynamics deep dish wheels (really what got me!), cat delete, headers, oil filter adaptor, full nav etc.

What I've done: o2 sensors, WP/thermostat, 987 MM, general maint/fluids as required, Oil pressure gauge, oil sump X-51 upgrade, and a few other bells and whistles.

Well I will go also, but I am sure I overpaid a little:
2000 Boxster S 24,000 miles purchased May 16 16,000 eurosbout $17k at time
Factory Hardtop included
IMS installed with warranty
Short shift kit
Full maint documentation

Come to find out I knew the second owner.
At the time cars with 3 times the milage were in the 12k range. The car was and is in impeccable condition.
