Bruce, I'm sure you did work with a conscience, I'm also sure you took it with you to the next career which is my point.

NSX's came with automatics. I bet you could find an awesome late model one for half of what you're budgeting for the Boxster.

They were pretty cool but without PDK I would not enjoy an automatic. I'm going to step back and see what else comes. My friend is in the industry, he told be about dealerrater.com. Apparently even the manufacturers look at those posts. Sure some may be an errant complaint. However, as my friend points out if you see a trend you can quickly know what to expect post sale. It's not perfect but it is free. Someone kicked the Roc NY dealer in the shin, i thought I recognized the post name as a member here.
