I bought an 01S just under 3 years ago and paid a good bit more than you're looking at (but it was, of course, a newer car at that point. It's also become a buyer's market!). That being said, I haven't been disappointed in the least---I say go for it (assuming the PPI reveals no significant problems). The car's been a blast to own and drive.

And the good news: I got a 3 year loan (at 2.9%)---come July, it's paid off! Yipee!!

Nothing wrong with Hendrick. StuttgartHaus in Mooresville was recommended to me for older cars. Not sure about Boxster. Seems like Mooresville has several, but cannot remember names.

Dealers have expertise. Only time I'd worry would be when they offer a PPI for a car w/o CPO warranty.

For the mileage being that low, the asking price is very fair and I would consider it a good buy as long as the PPI checks out.

I hope you get it and welcome to the club. I bought my 2001 S about a year and half ago and I have loved every minute. If you really want to enjoy the car and appreciate what it is capable of doing, take it to your next local PCA Driver's Education (DE) event, but be careful because DE's are addictive.

Don't ask me how I know

Once again guys, thanks for the input and advice. I'm looking forward to getting into a Boxster, whether it's this one or another in the next week or two and becoming a part of the forum. I'm liking the sound of these DE days too...

So who's in the western NC/upstate SC area?
