Thanks for the great advice guys! I spent most of my labor day weekend test driving Boxsters and must agree with Mike that the Boxster market here in NC is elevated. I believe on order of $2000 greater than Edmunds, KBB, or NADA.
I took Racer's advice and drove any and all Boxsters near me and was impressed by the power of the 2.7L Boxster. I still prefer the S but if I came upon a nice 2.7L I would now consider it.
I did drive a nice 2.7L Boxster (see link) with odd wheels and sport seats(?). The dealer dropped the price to $15,500 but I believe this is a bit more than I want to spend on a non S Boxster. Are the wheels and seats part of a special package? Thanks again...
