Now I was truly considering two vehicles. A 2006 Caymen S, or this 98’ Boxster. One I could buy outright (highly appealing), the other a finance. I am regretfully deciding against the Caymen S, but if you all think a PPI and a solid test drive, along with the price of $7,900 is a green light, I may just be joining the club.
Get the Boxster. Save the Cayman S for a later upgrade after you've become addicted to P-cars.
