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. |

The other nice thing about the boxsters is that the engines and trannys are relatively cheap. I know someone who bought a low mileage S engine for $3500. There's a 14K mile 996 engine with 6spd tranny on ebay right now for $7K. That's cheap for 320hp when you think about how much it would cost to build a 320hp aircooled flat six. And there's no bids so you could probably get it cheaper.
I was thinking that one way to go would be to find a nice, cheap, higher mileage early Boxster, drive the shit out of it, and then when it needs a new engine you find a low mileage S engine or 996 engine for cheap. |
