I want to daily a boxster

[Mowie]

Well hello every one obviously I'm new to the forum and Im really wanting to buy a boxster I'm really considering one from 1999 and in manual. I was wondering what everyone has to say about that year and how is the manual transmission, what should I look out for and how much I should pay. Also really wondering on what would be the first things I should check and replace when I go for buying one today. I’ve heard of the ims bearing failure and honestly feel like I can tackle the job and just replace it myself and what aftermarket bearing y’all would recommend. Also a yearly cost and what to expect if I were to daily drive it. I’m in the US and won’t mind goin some distance for a nice example so please do share if you have one for sale
