I would imagine if you could find a used Boxster with US specs (possibly difficult) you could have it transported here. But, if you did it it would be a gray market car and no remaining factory warranty would be honored. I do not think you'd save much money though... Boxsters can be had for a bit over wholesale blue book in very nice condition if you hunt long and hard for the car.
I can only dream of buying a new Porsche and taking European delivery... I'd drive it around the castles and other points of interest to keep the wife happy until the break in period is over and then head directly to the Nurburgring (a Porsche owner's version of Disneyland) and drive the piss out of it as fast as I can without the slow cars around you doing pokey speeds of just a 100 mph or so on the autobahns... yup, I'd be sharing the circuit with ferraris, fast motorcycles and yes, other Porsches!
Oh crap. Now I'm so worked up I won't be able to get to sleep tonight just thinking about doing this. It's a boy's dream, no?
If I ever come into some cash one way or another, I'll do this in a heartbeat. My buddy did exactly this with his M3... took three weeks to drive all over Germany, Switzerland, Italy and even drove into Poland if I'm not mistaken. That I would not do with my new car, but hey, to each his own. Then he headed to the ring and paid his money for lap after lap to drive 165 mph. Said he had a ******************** eating grin on his face the entire airplane trip back home to Hawaii where he lives and works.
Only downside to European delivery is the oh-so-long wait to get your toy home. I think it takes 6-8 weeks after you drop it off for it to arrive all cleaned up and ready for US delivery at the dealership where you made the purchase.
