hello all,

so i'm thinking about taking the plunge and getting a boxster. the baby under question is a 2008 "demo" boxster base. msrp is $55k but the car is on sale for $39k.

at first i thought "demo" meant it was a test driven car or something, but there was only 11 miles (13 miles after my test drive

) on it. the dealership told me it's a demo car because the dealership "bought" it so that it can be listed as a sale for porsche... or something to that extent.

i would be listed as the car's first owner, but the warranty would be backdated to when the dealership bought it (december 2008).

anybody have any opinions/ideas/suggestions on getting a demo car?

hope to soon join all you boxster owners (= thanks.
