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.

I own a 1999 Boxster Black/Black 5 speed. I bought the car with 18000 miles one owner. After I got it home it rained for days, so it sat in the garage. First day out, BOOM motor blew. They had had problems. Dealer fixed at no charge.
What I would like is a glass rear window,2001 and newer, also heated seats,I like black , but it is really a negative because it always seems dirty. I would go with the Seal gray or Meridian silver. Two excellent colors that do not show the dirt.
The tiptronic is a good driving car, but not an easy resale car.
A low mileage car is not a plus, it just means that the things that could go wrong with it have not yet happened. Get one with a extended warranty or buy one. It definetley could pay for itself.
As far as price, look for the besr deal, don't overpay, because there are to many out ther for sale and some are going cheap. PPI is a must.
All in all I would buy another one, I love the way it drives and it has power and heat and you just feel good in one.
