Hi guys
I have a friend looking for a Boxster for around a £10k budget ideally around 02 reg, with lowest poss miles and FSH.
He has a Q and as a non Boxster owner I thought Id ask the guys who really know!
Do Glass rear windows in the hood only come on the 3.2s ?
Any other advice or pointers or even cars avab at that price would be really appreciated.

Cheers
Adam

(pref Black or Silver)
Again any advice form Boxster owners much appreciated.

Cheers

It might be difficult to find anything as low as £10 for an 02 car, especially with a history and lowish miles.

My year 2000 2.7 cost £10,500 last Feb. Prices have come down since but at the time I was looking at early 2.5 cars mine was a bit of a find. It did have a full main dealer history which I have verified with the dealer.

However to get a car for around £3,000 less than it should have been at the time I had to compromise. Mileage was over 90,000, the brakes all needed changing, there is a split in the front bumper (not easily noticeable but the bumper needs replacing) and the wheels were starting to corrode. I changed the brakes myself, not a difficult job and am starting to look for a front bumper. As for the wheels, still not sure what to do, replace or refurb.

I would say your friend will probably be looking for an early S or an early 2.7 for 10K. Leave a bit in reserve as well. My coolant bottle split after 8 months of ownership, a common problem which cost £500 to fix. There are a few things like this that can bite you on the bottom.
 
Thanks for the tips!
An older car has appeared in the for sale section - hopefully my pal will be making contact with the owner, it looks ok from the advert and is located in London where my friend is.

Cheers
