    As a follow up for those that may have the same question in the future, it did indeed pass with flying colors in CA. No issues at all at the DMV visual inspection or the actual smog check. Thanks everyone for the sound info.

    So here's the situation I'm looking at... I have found that I can get a much better deal if I buy an out-of-state car; I'm in California, which is of course notorious for it's smog standards. Does anyone know how hard it is to get an out-of-CA vehicle smogged in CA? (2000 boxster 2.7) A specific question is in regards to an 'S' exhaust on a regular 2000 boxster: will this throw things off right off the bat with regards to the visual part of the smog inspection? thanks in advance.

    Out of curiosity, when did you buy it and how much did you pay? I'm now looking at a very clean '00 in Texas with a Carrera front-end. thanks!

    Heh, heh.. I admit, the Porsche fever has hit me. I test drove the vehicle again and the CC doesn't work + the CEL came on. It is indeed a rough one. I'm moving on and resuming my search. Many Thanks.

    Ive been looking for a Boxster like crazy for the past two weeks and this really seemed like a screamin' deal based on my search... but it looks like I'll hold off on this particular car. Good input, thanks.

    Wow, really? This is good to know. Regarding e-bay, I don't see much available in this price range (+ a couple grand) within 250 miles of my area. The only couple that are somewhat comparable have many, many more miles or had frame damage. The one repair I wouldn't be able to do is the clutch, so I would have to invest about $1k at a reputable independent shop. The $12k price includes tax and license (about $1k), so the sticker price of the car is $11k. Well, thanks for giving me more to chew on... much appreciated ;-)

    My first post... I'm very excited about (soon to be) becoming a first time Porsche owner. I am very close to buying the car listed below and would like some input from all of you -- the experts -- on what you think. The price has been haggled down to $12k out the door, which seems like a pretty good price. 2000 Boxster 2.7 55k miles 5spd Silver exterior / gray-black interior outside edge of 3 rims are scratched -- used as curb feelers small gouge/rip in RH part of dash driver seat upholstery is worn, small rip in seat bottom RH airbag door is loose -- I verified airbag is still there I had a PPI performed at a local Porsche dealer (SF bay area). These are some of the results: needs a clutch needs front brakes spark plug tubes leaking mud flap missing (??) tools missing needs hood latch suspension looks good no RMS leak frame looks good great paint So whaddya think? (btw, love the site and look forward to actually performing some of the work in the DIY and Mods sections!)
