Am I going crazy?

Yeah, tell me about it. They wanted my car plus 17k for the vette just talking to them over the phone so I didn't bother wasting the gas to go over there. I think they would've offered slightly more if they saw and checked my car in person. I'm willing to deal some, but that was a rediculous low ball offer. Anyway, I said Uhhh no thanks! I've done some shopping around and I might just have to sell the car myself. Car dealers just try to shist you anyway. Here are some pics I took over the weekend. If any of you guys are interested in it let me know. It's for sale.

Your Box is beautiful. I wouldnt never change that car for a Vette. See it is perfectly understood that you want more power and it looks like a Vette Z06 can offer plenty of it - never been in one but I can imagine.

But the beauty of the Box besides the respectable acceleration and tremendous handling is owning one. I always thought European cars have much more style than US cars. Not only for Porsche cars, but for BMW, Audi etc. They feel more exclusive in the US.

To each of his own I guess, so good luck whatever you do!

Beautiful car, great condition and a great color.

Should sell quite rapidly.

Good luck with the Z06 and please keep visting us. Boxster ownership is not required.

I have both a c5Z and a 986 box. I wouldn't trade one for the other. Granted I do drive the Z as a daily driver. Performance is off the charts in all categories and comfort level is high considering such a performance beast...we're not talking Lexus floaty but civilized when you want it to be. Also, I currently get 25-26 mpg with a mix a city and hwy driving. Power is only as deep as your pockets....right out of the box the z's dyno ~350whp with an occasional factory freak. Adding power is of no issue. With long tube headers, mild cam, intake, and a tune you can expect to put down 425whp/410tq. With drags this translates into a 10 sec. car. It's been documented. All this can be had for $3k. With those #'s we're talking C6Z06 territory!! Anyhow, good luck with your purchase. You won't regret it!
