Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

Hi all
Im new to this web forum. (I just surfed on in).
My name is Shaz and I'm based in UK.
Im thinking about buying a Boxster by the end of the year,
it'll have to be a 2nd hand one, from say.. '99.
I thought Id join this forum since you guys seems to be genuine
Boxster enthusiasts, I very much enjoy the pics and movie
clips that you post. thanks!
I will be spending the next few months drooling over them.
If you have your own personal web site be sure to post links
so i can check them out.
Im still at the stage desciding between Boxster S or no S.
I'll spend this time to help me decide on various
features.
See you around!
Shaz
Welcome to the forum! You'll find lots of information here and elsewhere on the web and it is important to be informed especially if you are looking at used Boxsters.
In the used market, you set your price point and figure out what you can get. There are 3 different Boxsters (pre-2003), and it sounds like you will be looking at the first category:
97-99 Boxster with 2.5 liter engine
00-02 Boxster with 2.7 liter engine
00-02 Boxster S with 3.2 liter engine and other improvements
I don't think you'd be looking at an S unless it was unusually high mileage or some other factor--better to get a more pristine 2.5 liter Boxster because of maintenance concerns.
Sounds like you want to purchase in the fall/winter? Perfect for buying a convertible; you'll get your best deals at this time!

check out my post on the following thread:

The 'S' has a mis-matched, bolted on 996 tranny and gear ratios the ruin the Boxster's otherwise perfect balance as found with the 2.7L. Your best bet is to get a MY2000+ 2.7L.
Hi Charlie
Thanks for the welcome, i have lots of research to do!
I was having a look at some of these pics, is it true to say..feature
wise both versions of the boxster are identical?
