Why all the hate for the 97-99 Boxsters? I have a 97 and have gotten a lot of compliments on it. Even had one person tell me he wished he still had his 98. He currently owns an S but misses the sound of the 2.5L. Personally I wouldn't buy an 03-05 because of the high IMS failure rate (10%). And I run 18" wheels on my 97 as I know other who do too and no issues.

Personally I would have misgivings in buying this car tombo122. I paid $8700 for a low mileage (62,000), well maintained, IMSB replaced with an LNE bearing, excellent interior, 60K service done and it came with a hardtop. I shopped for a year till I found the car I felt I really wanted. Nearly 2 years later, no regrets.
