Need your advice on Boxster seleciton
in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Posted
Hi,
I am very happy I managed to find this board, where during the last few days learned a lot about Boxsters.
I live in Lithuania (Europe), and found two cars I'm interested (here the selection is very limited) and would like some advice from you.
1st: 1999 2.5 manual, ~70K miles, blue, black interior. seems to be in a good shape
2nd: 2002 2.7 auto, ~30K miles, silver, black interior. mint condition
Highlights:
'99 is cheaper, has an upgraded audio.
'02 looks very fresh, but has fewer features, not sure if auto is an advantage for me...
From what I found on the net about 2.5 vs. 2.7, so it's a bit hard to understand - "2.7 build quality is much better" is the verdict, but what does it mean? Where the quality of 2.5 suffers?
Performance wise 2.5 manual should perform better than 2.7 auto, right? What should you advice to look at? I have read those "buying guides" so if only you have something to add for those specific cases...
Thank you for any input!
