$21k is a pretty good take for an '02 even if it is an S so not a bad sale.

Isn't it a little early for used 981s? I've been thinking the 981 might end up being the pinnacle of Boxsters before...

Similar to the response from a previous poster, I'd say there's a mix of reasons for the prices you'll see on cars. People on this board will know one generation Boxster from another because we...

It comes down to your priorities and your budget. The Boxsters have been very solid cars and are well-built. High mileage isn't necessarily a problem but get a good PPI on any Boxster you might...

If you're lucky then you hear muted grinding sounds like there are some pebbles caught in the underbody. This is the sound of the impeller starting to break into pieces.

Actually, my first reaction was that it's a little rich. That's not to say the car isn't nice, just that there are a lot of used Boxsters out there and many with relatively low miles. $14k might...

I've driven 335i's and I would tend to agree with your impressions. The BMW is more refined, faster, effortless, etc. The Boxster is a better car if the tactile feel of a sports car is what you...
