What Boxster model/price & Warranty

[BarrenS]

Hey Guys,

I'm looking at buying a 986.

What's your thoughts on price for one in good condition and what sort of mileage should I be aiming for.

I can't afford to replace the engine this year if it decides to go bang so what is my best choice of Warranty?

Anything else to look out for?

Thanks chaps.

Missed out my budget! (£4k to £7k)

2001 onwards.

I looked at the Hartech plan, not quite clear on what happens if the Engine goes pop (under Gold).

I do not want the 3.2 (extra insurance cost isn't worth it imo)

I want to get it checked and any niggles fixed off the bat with Hartech and would take it straight in.

I've seen some on paper that look good at ~£5k, I'd rather buy a well maintained Boxster than go to £7k for the S.

Reason for 01 onwards was a friends Boxster (2000) has had lots of problems and I know that doesn't mean anything but seemed as good a reason as any to discriminate.

Just trying to get a sense from here on what's sensible to expect.

Thanks for the advice, all Leather does make a big difference.

It's a bit pricey for me but the very low mileage is attractive!

Other than here & Autotrader, are there any other specific dealers worth keeping an eye on?

Not interested in tiptronic but 28k miles on a 2000..

Hoping to go and see this one

I looked at his, but he's not selling it now. I had wanted to avoid Silver (Black is my preference) but I would have been tempted.

He's not far either..

I'm sure he would. It looks good, I'm very surprised it didn't sell, listed here.

I'll get in touch in case he changes his mind.

If only it was black

Thanks guys.

Are there any well thought of dealers, pickings are pretty slim on here & boxa. Autotrader the pricing is all over the place and doesn't appear a lot of quality.

Compare the three below as an example;

Is it worth getting a (local to seller) indy to check one out post viewing before buying, what sort of cost would I be looking at?

Help/advice greatly appreciated.
