1st Boxster purchase

[Anker]

Use Cargurus.com, their price analysis is pretty accurate.

You have two choices that I would consider: Either an early 1998/99 2.5l or a 2003/04 S. The first if you are looking for a classic and not concerned about acceleration, the latter if you want the best acceleration and a glove box. Try both before you decide.

Early Boxsters are simply the best value in sports cars.

And then, off course, have a thorough PPI. Don't fall in love until you know what you are looking at. The bodies will normally be in terrific shape because all the steel is galvanized, but looks can be deceiving.

Good luck!
