ok so i'm young and naive and i feel like if i go to the porsche dealership they'll feed me some BS so i come to you folks.
First off, in case any of you are wondering about why a 21 year old is buying a porsche, i have kind of an interesting life story. If you're not interested, just go to the next paragraph. Well, i'm a professional poker player. I bought my first car when i was 20, a 1997 Mercedes e320 similar to
. I love it. Its classy, luxurious, it drives like an old mans car... which when i bought it, was actually a good thing. It was smooth, roomy, powerful, relaxing. Well it was fun while it lasted, and i test drove a boxster and my god, talk about the complete opposite. That thing is quick, scary, and FUN. The only problem is:
I HATE the bloody look of it. It really does look like a vw beetle but screw it. I don't care. The boxster is a nice enough car that on a nice sunday afternoon, i might burn a few hours just going for a drive.
Now. Price isn't really a huge issue but i'm just trying to ballpark what i should be expecting so i don't get ripped off at any dealers. I WILL be getting the boxster, not the S version. I drove the boxster and since i'm young, i'm pretty sure i would end up killing myself if i had anything faster. Since i have no school and technically no job, i won't be using it to commute or anything, so it won't get high miles. Therefore i don't mind getting one with higher than average miles, as long as it runs ok. I'll probably be driving it LESS than 3000 miles a year.
So i was thinking a late 90's model, for around $17,000. Now, once again, i hate the look of it. So, I think i will be (gasp) adding a body kit to it.
This body kit here - $925
Is what i would love. I'm guessing it would probably cost around $150-200 to ship that, plus installation would be $$$ (i have no idea?)
I would ALSO like black rims with a red brake calliper. Something exactly like this
I reckon i can find something similar at my local shop for around $1500 for the set of rims and $$$? for installation? is it free usually?
So, basically after all this, cliff notes are:
1) Are there any common problems i should be aware of in 98-01 boxsters?
2) How much will it cost to do THESE modifications
a) Front Bumper body kit - $925 - +shipping - +installation
b) Black Racing Rims - $1500 - +installation (or is it usually free?)
c) Red brake calliper - $?
d) IN DASH GPS (i don't care if its average gps, as long as its installed into the dash) - $?
So, how much am i looking at spending on top of the price of the car?
