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

Good luck

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.

Less than 6000 a year strikes me as lower than average.

Yeah, I decided not to mention the fender bender... I know most car ads do, but I wanted to try something different.

I've dropped the price... $16,999
I still predict no takers, but like I said, my motivation to sell is half-hearted. And as long as I DON'T have a C4S, I'm living debt free (Except those dang school loans)!


It's very low for the car's age, I'm just saying I won't buy any cars above 30K unless there is a compelling reason.

To BM and Lil, please both of you, either get a room or resolve this in a PM. No more bickering, it is unbecoming of both of you.

Jeph, Nice car, hope you sell it right off.

Jeph,

Your car is very attractive with some nice modifications. I've seen pictures of your car before and I have always thought the rims and lights would look good on my car.

It's kind of disappointing to see the sub-$17k price, but I guess the market for used Boxsters is not that strong right now. I suppose my car is worth even less.

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.)
