You guys are ground zero for Porsches though. When I car shop it's normally within 500 miles of Wichita, it's still hard to find a genuinely nice no stories well documented Boxster for under $10k. There's plenty of them out there but they need a top, have accident history, no records, rough condition, etc.

As for the car you posted, I would have probably 30 questions for that guy. Service records? Accident history? Maintenance completed? The pictures suck, all that I can tell is that it's spent a lot of time in the sun. It's also an absolute base model and the most undesirable year. That car would not meet my criteria for a nice car.

Edit: this is more like it. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-cars-sale/790455-1999-porsche-boxster-low-low-miles.html

Well documented, clean, IMS and clutch done, low miles, $10,500. Claimed no accidents, though I'd be curious where the rear Boxster badge went.
