Returning to the origin of this thread, I always wondered if I would buy a new boxster off a lot or if it would be ordered.
Knowing that boxsters on the lot are driven really hard during test drives, I'd rather not drop 60k or more on a Porsche that has been near-redlined before it's broken in.
Sadly, I don't think I'll ever order a Porsche brand new from the factory... too expensive. The sad part is I have no real way of knowing if the first owner did the right thing and broke in the car properly.
