Wanted to say how good this thread is. I will copy #111 as a procurement aid. It is interesting to me that while the Italians are usually credited with sensuous and striking design,the main reason I want a Boxster is the attraction to the body shape. When I park beside one it beakons strongly. Female curves? I guess so. Having owned Corvair, TR-4, original Lotus Elan, on and on ,the Boxster reliability is a revelation. I was considered marathon man to street the Elan for 58K commuter miles. Do I have any business looking at a low slung roadster at my age....yep. The wife drives the C 63 AMG and I drive ( wait for it) an 85 Fiero and 91 Nissan 2000 (the low end car Porsche could not build?). A used Boxster would be perfect, especially the light 1999 model. Kudos to great people here.
