Buying first Porsche
Discussion
Hey guys
Looking to buy an open top sports car and narrowed it down to Boxster or Slk
Forgetting the Slk for a while I've been scouring eBay and auto trader for boxsters but the range of specs, mileage, condition and prices is just bewildering
There's 2 I'm really interested in both from local garages
A 2005 2.7 with 100k on the clock advertised at £9,950, stunning car in gt silver with every extra, mileage higher than I'd like but price about 3k less than average (it's the newer facelift model)
Or a 2004 2.7 with 50k on the clock for £8000, silver with blue hood
Would you go for the newer car with the higher mileage or the older car with less mileage ?
Can boxsters handle high mileage or would you consider 100k miles just run in ?
Thanks guys

The SLK isn't really a Sports car, go with the Boxster!Looking to buy an open top sports car and narrowed it down to Boxster or Slk

tiptronic gearbox , I stopped reading after that ....
on a personal note, I would not buy a 100k miles car, rather have a newer MX5\S2000 or some thing if £8k was my limit.
a 100k Miles Porsche is still a Porsche which needs Porsche parts and Porsche spend and fat tyres which costs lots.

With the Boxster I would always put maintenance/ownership history ahead of age/spec/colour/mileage.
A well maintained example with full service history (specialist or dealer) ,sympathetically driven 100k miler will always b a better bet than a 1 owner 50k miler that's not been used regularly, but driven hard when it has and has only been serviced 3/4 times by a main dealer. Plenty of examples of both around as well as all in between.
