Hi,
I've just moved to the US, and need to buy a car. Looking through the second-hand car market, I am amazed at how cheap you can buy Porsche Boxsters for - in the LA area. I have seen them advertised as low as $13000 and there is a lot of stock around the $16000 range. These are typically 1995 - 2000 models.
Given my respect for the boxster, this seems almost too good to be true. Do people have advice on whether an early model boxster is a wise purchase or not? Are they reliable? What are maintenance and repair costs like? Insurance?
I realize that maintenance and repair is likely to be higher, but I also suspect that the boxster should retain its value better than almost any other car at the price range - since they still look modern and are considered a "prestigious" brand.
Do people think I should go for it, or should I look at getting something else for that price?
