Jeph's Boxster for Sale?

[JCL12]

I paid 21.9K for an 01' box about 3-4 months ago. Only options were tip and a 6-disc, but the car only had 36K miles and was (visibly) in immaculate condition.

Jeph-

Very pretty car, really like the Carerra front end. S or non S?

I just got back from my test drive. I drove a 335i Coupe. It was fun and fast! Terrific power (though I was shooting for a 328i Coupe but none were available on the lot)! Surprisingly, it wasn't tight enough for me... it even had the sport package. I was expecting less body roll. That's disappointing because that car was #1 on my list and I don't have a back up plan.

I think this Boxster may have spoiled me. Here's what I learned about myself.

1. Given the choice between power and finesse, I choose finesse.
2. I used to consider myself a Bimmer man first. Could I be a true Porsche man with a mere interest in Bimmers?
3. To get what I want out of a BMW, I need to get an M. -Ergo, I can't afford a BMW? (When do you suppose the M1 will come out?)

I looked briefly at Z4 Coupes but they're more than I am willing/capable of spending. I like those.

Maybe I should just wait it out until used Caymans (Plural, Caymen?) become more available/affordable.

Thanks for the compliments on the car guys. I do love the way my Boxster (non-S) looks. I wouldn't mind getting a newer 986S, but it won't look as unique... Furthermore, along with the 987, it won't solve my alleged "practicality" problem.

Ahh, stop yelling at me! I'm sorry.

The black never bothered me really. Now if ever I were to be rear ended, I'd go sans bumperettes. But I'm ok with the black. With so much goodness to look at in the front, I don't focus on the rear that much.

I'm looking for a silver 00' 986 with around 30 to 40K miles, I'd buy your car if only it was here in CA.

$21K including transport to CA?

I'm with Blinkwatt on this one. If you paint your bumperettes, your ride would look even better.
