I don't know if I agree with the others on price. Last March, a NY dealer was advertising several brand new '05 base cars with MSRP near $50K for $39,995. And they were silver, black and guards red with black interiors and decent options. I'd try to go lower on this particular car. It also sounds like you're having some doubts about the speed yellow, so you may want to look around. I've seen a number of new 05s in dealer inventories (assuming they're accurate). If you're willing to spend $34K and travel a little bit, you might want to go on dealer sites first and see what's available. When you find cars that are interesting, send an e-mail asking for their best price. You might be surprised. After all, the '07s are coming in, the Boxster is getting some competition from the Cayman and the new car market isn't that good right now. If you don't believe me, take a look and see how many cars some Porsche dealers have in stock.

Good luck on whatever you decide.
