Does this look wrong?

I may be in the market for a boxster, found this one locally, This particlular dealer usually marks stuff up pretty high, and i dont think they would sell a salvage car or anything like that, but this price seems low. any ideas?

Last year I found a 2003 Boxster S with similar miles for a similar price. I decided to pass for multiple reasons. Since we are a year later, the price seems relatively decent to me. But make sure you look at the car...you cant see all the scratches and dings from pics.

I'm not 100% sure, but I was of the impression that most, if not all Boster "S" had red calipers. The car in the picture doesn"t ???

It is the middle of winter, the dealer is in the snow belt, and dealers have to entice people with low prices in order to move convertibles during this time of year. It's a Porsche dealership that has the car, see if it is Porsche Certified.

Those are custom painted in silver,no Boxster comes with silver calipers from the factory. It's more then likely a S,look at the 3rd radiator grille,6 speed shift knob and the tailpipe.

The 2004 Anniversary Edition came with silver calipers, but that car is not an anniversary edition. Does look like an S, though.
