The low mileage option sounds like a very good deal. The best price I have seen on a low mileage Boxster S in this area was $49, most are in the low to mid $50's.

Just verify the history, and have the Porsche dealer look it over, then I would go for it.

Either one of those sounds like a good deal, what are the colors?

Mileage aside, it seems like you're weighing the driving fun of PASM vs the PCM/Adaptive seats. I have PASM but the car would be just as fun without it. I hear great things about the adaptive seats and the PCM is one of the better NAV systems out there, so I like the optioning of choice two better.

However, only 1500 miles on a car that's close to two years old sounds like a no-brainer to go with option 1. Alot of abuse can be heaped on a Porsche over 12,000 miles, particularly with a manual transmission. I'd also add $1000 on to the price of option two as it will need new rear tires sooner rather than later.

Just a side note, I have had 2 prior M Roadsters. You will not regret the swap to the Boxster S. It is a totally different vehicle... more civilized and precise but a very similar driving experience to the M Roadster. I consider it an upgrade!

Best of luck!
