Also, the warranty is only four years so losing two years of it after only six months means they need to cut the price substantially. Look to having the car Certified Pre Owned if the dealer offers it and extend the warranty period. Maybe work that into the deal. The guy you sell your car will be attracted to the coverage.
I'm just north of the city in the suburbs. I have no intentions on driving the car all year. I'll probably drive it to work once or twice a week in spring/summer/fall and on the weekends. I don't plan on driving it in the winter at all. I also plan on keeping it forever (hopefully) and have it as a classic in mint condition when I'm an old man! LOL.

Will the 19" wheels make it ride that brutally hard on anything but perfectly smooth roads? My last car was an E36 M3 which had a pretty stiff suspension, but nothing that really bothered me. How would the Boxster with 19s compare?
