Jeph,

That Boxster looks sweet! Tasteful mods and lots of TLC. It should sell at that price to a buyer who knows what they are getting. Sports car buyers are on the endangered species list right now. Don't forget to mention you can get 30 mpg highway in your car if you keep a soft right foot. Good luck!

Beautiful car!!!!! I love the looks of the front end!!!!! That being said it is refreshing to see your intentions of being forthright with potential buyers, carfaxes, autochecks and informed buyers would quickly surmise the real reasons for the friendly face . I've been in industrial sales for ~ 25 years, I / we (our company) rely on repeat sales, if you're full of it you're found out early on. Karma is out there.................

BTW....I have the same aspirations.....C4S except in the 997 version, too many tuitions calling for now. Good luck on the sale.

Ha, "karma."

Thanks for the compliments. If I could afford it, I assure you I'd have a 997 4S. But in that price range, you're not too far from a GT3 -which I think I'd like even better.

I know the market was a different place 7 months ago, but DANG! 22? Nice work.

I think I need to add more pix, less professional ones.

Awesome car Jeph, I have always loved it. And great choice for a replacement... much better than that M thing you considered a few months ago.

I ALMOST sold my 996 last week with all this bad economy news. I even put it for sale on 6speed, then drove it. I decided for the little it is worth now, I would be nuts to sell such an excellent performing and fun vehicle.

I still regret selling my boxster 6 months ago too. I wish these toys were cheap enough to collect.

Ha, "that M thing." Thanks for the compliments Max. As much as I love the thought of owning a nice BMW/M, it doesn't motivate me to sell my car. A test drive in the C4S does!

I hate to sound cliche and cheesy, but there truly is "no substitute." (Well, on this side of a Ferrari anyway.)

x2...Nice car. I believe the price is right. It wouldn't be on the market long here in Atlanta.

Good luck
