If I may ask,

For benefit of money-savings, is the 1998-2001 boxster almost like 2007-current versions, that it really doesn't make much difference if you get the older version...

 

They say that usually the 2001+ are more reliable.

 

i vote for the 2001! that's of course because i have one! lol! i've not had any mechanical issues with mine since i've owned it (51K miles).

best wishes in your search! =)

 

2001 are more reliable IMO...I sell these type of vehicles

 

Are you guys saying the 01 is more reliable than the 05+, or more reliable than pre-01?

 

I do not own a boxster but I Believe there was a upgrade to the Motor in 05 to 2.7 and 3.4S model liters and some different lights as well so i would say 05 ..

 

I haven't owned a Boxster either (but still consider one sometimes), but I believe according to Wikipedia that the 05 upgrade of the S took the motor to 3.2 liters, and in 07 it was increased to 3.4 liters. One of these days I will try an 07S to see how it compares to my 997 T4S.

 

more reliable than pre-01
