I am looking at replacing my aging BMW 323i with a Boxster. I have located 3 in my area, here they are: 2002 with 150,000kms for $14248WP0CA29842U624314- Silver with black interior, both in perfect condition- Carbon fibre shifter knob + ebrake handle- Mismatched tires, fronts are michellin and rears are a company I have not heard of.- 2 owners, previous being a "traveling salesman, and this was his second boxster"- I saw this one while on the lift, underneath it was in impeccable condition. Brakes were rather new, no rust anywhere.- Seller is a local reputable dealer1999 with 132,000kms for $13950WP0CA2989XU625837- Silver with black interior, both in perfect condition.- Shifter knob is from a Boxster S- Michellin Pilot Sport PS2 on all 4 corners!- One owner- Front Collision in December 10th 2000, no other details, no noticable repairs and the fenders were checked with paintthickness gauge and no evidence of repaint found.- Rear window cracked, seller was willing to have it replaced- Lots of corrision (acid, not rust!) at battery location. Car has been sitting in warehouse since Nov/12.- Passenger headlight looks like it was burnt on the inside? seller willing to replace- Seller is a large used car dealer that deals mainly in luxury/sport cars. Did not seem like a trustworthy guy..1999 with 87,000kms for $13999WP0CA2981XU621233- Red, unsure of interior color, have not seen this car in person yet, I will be going to see it this week- Clean history, unsure of how many owners- Seller is a Honda Dealer Each seller is willing to let me take it to Porsche in order to have them do a PPI. What I do not know is which one is the better deal... also I am worried (much like everyone else about the porosity issue and the IMS). From what I gather the porosity issue was fixed by '99. Lastly I am unsure which one of these has a dual row IMS, from what I gather the '99 have dual row IMS? is this correct? I should mention this will be my spring/summer/fall car that I plan to put about 25000kms/year. I have lots of tools, garage space and have experience doing work. I don't mind doing the work (suspension/control arms/axles) but I am not comfortable doing a clutch/IMS/RMS. Luckily there is a well known Porsche mechanic in my town. Car to offer me any advice?
