Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Thanks

I haven't checked it out, but if I we to buy a Boxster in the SF Bay Area right now this 2001 S with 7,900 would probably be a contender:
2001 boxter s
I'm not a huge fan of the interior color choice thought.
Thanks, don't think I can afford the Ruf
I generally like the tan-ish interior, but I think it looks better on darker colors, looks a little off on the Speed Yellow '01

Hi,
I am not familiar with the car but i just got my new Cayman S at Stead and have used them for most of my service on my previous 986S. If you are really interested I could take a look for you sometime, send me a PM. From the photos it looks like the interior has lot of interior wear and tear tho.

It seems like a lot of money for what it is. I have a base Box 2001 and two years ago I did not pay much more than that. Stealership tends to be pricey. You could probably get a base or an S at a good price buying privately. Also ask for receipts for work done, any accidents etc. A PPI is a must. Look for the options you want on the Boxster- psm,remote key entry etc etc. Bargain hard as the $$$ you save put into a slush fund for possibly replacing, IMS, clutch and other items. Do not be in a hurry!
I prefer lower mileage(mine had 30k miles on it when I bought it)as the accessories should last longer . Super low mileage you may need to replace ims right away or install IMS Guardian. Let us know what you get and of course pics would be great.....
