When did you decide you wanted one?
Always liked Porsche from a young age - don't really know when though.

How long did it take to finally purchase it?
Finally bought my 1998 Boxster in Ocean Blue in July 2008 after the ex told me that she wanted the Ford Cougar! Started looking in May and researched everything I needed to know to buy a good one. And touch wood (hand to head) I have not had any problems so far!

How old where you then, and now?
I was 31 then and am 31 now.

Is there anything you would have done differently?
At the time no. But in hindsight I would have saved a little more and maybe gone for a 2.7 or S

Quick word of advice for a young person trying to save for one?
Patience, patience, patience. Buy the one you want after serious research into what to look out for.
