I'm with KK2000s on this question. I bought my Boxster because I wanted a Porsche and enjoyed my mid-engine Toyota MR2, but frankly, I originally wanted and still want a 911 coupe. Always have. I just did not have the patience to keep saving my money.

The Boxster has been a great learning experience and I got 3 years of DE's in it before I decided not to track it any longer. I will sell it when I can afford to buy a CPO 991S and not negatively impact my retirement lifestyle plans. No significant regrets other than dumping $42,000 and counting into what's become the most expensive 1997 2.5 Boxster I've found so far.
