There is no 'bad' year to buy. The earliest cars would be from late 1996 (1997 model year) and these will be 2.5. From late 1999 (2000 model) the 2.7 replaced the 2.5 giving a little more horsepower and noticeably more torque in the midrange. If on a budget for a tiptronic Boxster its worth looking at the 2.7.
Also for the 2000 model year a large engined Boxster 3.2 S was introduced. These are super sports cars with a 6 speed manual gearbox or tiptronic. They have bigger brakes, stiffer chassis and 260 hp.
These models are known as the 986 series and ran until the launch of the newer shape 987 Boxter, introduced in late 2004. The only significant change to the 986 series was in 2003 when Porsche replaced the plastic window of the soft top with a heated glass window. This is know as a facelift although it was mild and only changes in the plastic bumpers and moulding distinguish these.
From the 2005 model (987) almost every detail of the Boxster changed. It offered a newer 2.7 motor giving 240 hp (up from 220) and a new 3.2 S , again more horsepower. Significant changes were made to the refinement, ergonomics , handling and performance. Although the two series shared the same style, if you look closer you will be hard pushed to find any parts that the old and new model share.
