...for an S. Any one out there thinking of selling? Needs to be a tiptronic/auto box, since wife will drive it. I love Boxsters, and Caymans. Looking for something between an 02 and 05.

You do realize that 02-04 is gen 1 (986) and 05 is gen 2 (987) right?

Yes. I am fairly familiar with the Boxster history (and issues). This is a price point issue for me. Frankly, the best Boxster is the new 981, but I don't want to wait 15 years to get one

bump. I do have a lead on a beauty in the state of WA, but man I would really like to get closer to home with this. I do not want silver or black, which removes 75% of what's available, and it needs to be an auto box, which removes another 90% from he pool based upon what I am seeing. My price point is to $25K

Done. Passed ppi with no issues (most importantly, oil is clean, and there are no leaks). Can't wait to get it here and drive it!

Very nice. Keep the rubber side down and the canvas side up.
