The look and feel of a Boxster will be very different from you current ride. I would suggest driving several before making the switch (amazing to me how many folks buy a car without doing this!).
Re: Pricing, if you do find a $15K Boxster, you are very likely going to find one that has either tons of miles or has been trashed/salvaged, or both. It IS possible to find a stupid seller but not likely.
Frankly, I would try to figure out a way to spend more money, get a Box with a 2.7L engine and in better condition. This is going to bring you into the lower 20s but will be well worth it in the long run.
Finally, keep in mind that cheap speed ad-ons that you are used to in the Miata world are not available in the Box world. We are talking many thousands to add not a ton of HP to a 2.5L engine. Forget Turbo charging too!
My friend and business partner, Richard Kwei has an awesome Miata, so he can shed some light on that world and he and I can help you compare.
Best of luck and thanks for joining us.
