For 65K, you can get into a brand new M3 or IS-F or CTS-V.
This advice is dead-on... and go with an S if you get the Porsche...

He is in Florida, but I wouldn't but the Box unless I lived in Cali.

I'd never buy a yellow one but someone got one helluva deal...

I would go boxster over cayman, because I love the convertible, my favorite part about the SC is the hard top convertible. And one of the things that makes the MB convertibles nice.

Boxster S is the ultimate sport car if you can appreciate feeling what the car is telling you. I have been in love with mine for 6 years now & will keep it as long as I have the desire to shift the 6speed, then buy a PDK S. The SL65 is very easy to drive very, very fast but the feel is heavily insulated to the driver. If cash flow is a factor maybe you can get quotes for warranty coverage & prepurchase inspection
