Looking at Boxter S, Any Boxter owners out there ? Options

[jim_hoyland]

I looked at a cherry guards red 2000 Boxter S with 20K miles yesterday. Seemed kind of pricy at $32.0K

Any boxter owners out there with comments on 2000 year models, prices, other ?

That was the first car I looked at, I'm shooting to purchase by May.

Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

That price is way too high for a 2000, particularly with the new 2005 boxsters out now.

They are great cars. It is a buyers market now so take your time and find a nice one with low miles.

I would definetly consider buying from a porsche store and getting a certified car. You will pay a little more but the extra 2 years warranty is worth it IMO.

Also they have to freshen the car, new tires,etc to sell it as certified.

There have been problems with the Rear Main Seal (RMS) on all 986 and 996 cars but most were in earlier cars although some later cars have the problem as well. It is a very small percentage of cars so nor really a big concern.
