1999 Porsche Boxster, $13,995 - Cars.com
Looks nice, low miles and dealer has a good rep but I would make the deal contingent on a pre purchase inspection by a Porsche mechanic you trust. I'd also find out who replaced the motor and if it was a new OEM or a rebuilt and what was done to rebuild it. If it's a new OEM it will have a 2 year warranty from Porsche if done by a dealership or authorized Porsche mechanic. If it is rebuilt I would definitely buy an extended warranty that covers everything as many rebuilds are coming out of wrecking yards and you don't know what was done and by who.
