Buy it! Or send me a link and I might!
At 79k has the major service been done? It’s due at 60k. I spy an Evolution Motorsports intake and euro style side marker lights, any other upgrades? Options are obviously the Aerokit and Sport Classic wheels, any other cool stuff like carbon fiber trim, full leather interior, sport exhaust, sport seats, sport suspension, or LSD?

The car was bought at auction so limited info other than Carfax. I should have bought a picture of the option sticker. I will try to get.
At 71k it had engine check,transmission and brakes flushed, Cooling system checked and 4 wheel alignment done. They are asking 20k. If your really interested, send me a PM. |

Not a bad price. I asked about the service because that tends to be a good negotiating point. It’s only about $300 in parts and a few hours of work but most dealerships charge about $2k for it.

Anyone have any insight on how a transaction as follows would likely work from the dealer view?
I want to trade my 2000 Boxster S with 54k on it (#113 which sometimes matters) and 2004 Saab Linear with 125k on it. I pay difference in cash. The Boxster is in excellent condition, drives like a new car. Bilstein sports and H&R's all around, B&M short shift, Beluga Exhaust (all last 5k miles). Stuff a dealer doesn't care about but the right buyer would. The Saab is a dependable car but getting up in mileage. Just did exhaust, radiator and thermostat a couple thousand miles ago. Runs great. Does the dealer just look at the trade in value and offer me that for the two cars or does he say I can likely get this for these cars and go from that? Hopefully that makes sense. Based on what little I know, I could get likely 13-16 for these. An issue i think is I did most of the preventative stuff on the Box within the last 4k miles (IMS, water pump, brake fluid) which I don't think a deal even cares about. I would love to sell my stuff and then buy but that takes time which not sure I will have with this car. It's that pretty.  Any insight? |

Sell your cars privately, I would not trade them in.

Where do I live? Why do you want to buy a Boxster?
I do really love the Box but in the last two weeks I went to visit my kids at two different schools. It would have been a nice ride but didn't have the 3rd seat for wife. We are small people. |

Car is in Mass at Intelly Motors. Guy's name is Doug and his # is 857 333 6884.
Love the car but I love my wife more. Stinks being an adult sometimes. Next time. I guess I will unload and look for a winter special. Thanks for all the help guys. |

Cant see getting a good deal from a dealer, but who knows, worth a shot. A friend hates selling cars. He gets the dealer # then tries to beat that in a couple days. Usually nets him more $$ and someone gets a good deal. Not shopping for one but I'm open to a good deal.

Those look like hardback Turbo/GT3/GT2 seats. And they are heated. I got one for my M491 but decided it was too heavy. Very very comfortable, much more so than any impact bumper seat.

They are the optional sport seats, which are a really nice and hard to find upgrade. Also looks like Polar Silver. Hard to see much more from the pics but the car looks pretty nice for the price.
