I just moved to the dark side after driving air cooled ones off and on for last 40 years. I sold my high miles 993 last year and just bought a Boxster S for roughly 1/4 of what I sold the 911 for.
I picked up a 2 owner 2001 Boxster S in Florida for $9300 with 67000 mi.
The small dealer was asking 11k but after 2-3 months lowered it to 10k OBO.
It was an auction car with good paint ,tires brakes etc but no records. after buying it I found the books and some records hidden behind the spare tire. Also discovered the original window sticker and lucked out with an m030 car with about 10k in options. I knew it was m030 but not the extent of other equipment. I called last owner and found clutch and other work was done at about 50k so at least that is good. My only ppi was a good drive and a gut feeling about general condition being up to date tires brakes etc.
I intend to replace the IMS bearing myself along with the AOS .over the next month or so. The car did the infamous oil cloud once the other day after winding it up to redline in 2 gears .
I,ve been looking for at least a couple months and you can certainly do better than the car you are looking at in the OP.
