Sold my Boxster S. Got a 03 SL500

[oriley]

I purchased my 03 Audi TT with around 60,000 miles in Jan 08. Fantastic in the snow, but I can't believe the amount of little bits that go wrong.
There's an awesome forum for the TTs in the UK. They ALL have the same problems. Unbelievable.
A friend just traded in his Merc 230 Hatch. Auto tranny had gone and Merc wanted $8000 to fix.
Touchwood, my 01 Boxster has had no issues in the 4 years of my ownership. Just oil changes.

I've owned many Audis without one single issue. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't VW own both Audi and Porsche?

No. Porsche owns Audi and VW

Awesome Back2DTM!

Thanks for posting the pictures.

So after a couple of months what are your thoughts on the SL? Likes, dislikes?

Thanks,

Nice car.

My dad has an SLK350 and I constantly take his car on errands or to areas with bad road ( the SLK has a much softer suspension ). I do notice that attractive girls tend to notice the SLK more than the Boxster. Maybe in a girl's mind, Benz > Porsche.

That said, my dad's close friend is a manager at Benz, and although I could get a great deal on the SL, I would never trade the S away. I always miss the S when I drive the SLK.

If I had some extra cash, I would trade in for the 290hp 07S and supercharge. A 350-380hp S with some extra suspension upgrade would be the car of my dreams.

And possible for under 50k. So .. hopefully very soon .. if I get a new job I'll be able to trade. LOLs. =]
