I agree with your statement about the proper break-in procedure too. Hard to do, but the smart move. Will you do an early oil change, say at the 1,000 mile mark?

How was pricing on the C2S? And the trade-in on the Boxster? Great time to be a cash buyer for "toys". Not so great of a time to be selling luxury items.

You will miss the drop top, for sure, IMHO.
I'm not sure that I will do an oil change or not at the 1k mark. I know there have been great... debates over this in past threads, but I may just do one towards the end of the year when prepping the car for winter driving. TBH, I abided the oil-change requirements by the book for the 2k Box and may have gone out a bit before getting the 1st one done. I traded it in after 3+ years of all-season driving and all that I had was a replaced fuse for the driver's side tail-light. Car never failed me or showed any drop in performance (of course, I have yet to go out to the Miller Motorsports course of participate in other events). So, I don't know.

I was happy with the pricing on this car. Granted, it was a "lot" car. I had my eye on a 2k7 black turbo (a little over 9k miles) at Gaudin (Vegas), an 08 C2 and an 07 C2s (California), although I think I would have had to travel the distance in order to close eskrows. Wasn't too comfortable with that, also needed 2 rear summer tires (TO MAKE THE TRIP)... so... This car had been previously "owned" for a few months and had a little over 500 miles on it (but had depreciation). Had more options than I was looking to equip (had I built it myself) and from a financial perspective we were in a good position, so... I'm a happy camper.
