Thanks for all the honest replies, I appreciate them and will consider them.
As for the money/first car issues - I haven't had a car because I haven't needed one. I live on campus at college, and can walk to just about anything, and I went to a boarding school in high school. I personally have the money to buy a new Boxster if I wanted, though I would really rather not do that if there's an offer on the table to help pay for one. Also, I don't like the idea of buying a new vehicle with depreciation, etc. I'm just sick of borrowing cars
Also a question about service, now that you brought it up - how often do you take your Boxsters in for service (not counting routine things like oil, tires, etc)?
Thanks again everyone.
