Instead of a Boxster I wish I would have bought....

Instead of the Boxster? I looked at the S2000 - too small, look at the Miata - overpriced for what you were getting. I would have considered a Z350 rag top, but there were none to be found.
I am pleased with the Boxster, except for that one time in Florida when the car was at the Dealers for 10 days with a broken for mechanism.

I have to admit, when I bought the Boxster, it was only to get in the Porsche family but I fell in love with it. With that said, this are my all time favorite:
930 Slant Nose




Or: 993

I’m very happy with my purchase. I considered and researched a ton of cars before arriving at the Boxster. To name a few S2000, TT, Mini, M3, S4, 330ci, 996, etc... If the Cayman were offered as a 986 and used models were like used Boxster prices I would’ve bought a Cayman. That’s really only because I don’t really like convertibles. That said, 3 out of 5 cars I’ve owned have been convertibles.

Boxster and 996 Turbo are the best bang for you buck at this time. A friend of mine just picked up a 996 Turbo for $33K w/40K miles. Can’t beat that for a $127K new.

All that said, if I got rid of the Boxster I’d buy a 993. I couldn’t afford the 993 so, I bought a Boxster.

After owning the the 2006 987S for a couple years, I got the itch for an air-cooled Turbo, and added this to the garage in 2009. Best of many worlds:

wow, a super car for only $33,000?! Looks like I found my next car!

the 996 turbo is still an amazing vehicle and still looks new. With 4 wheel drive, 0-60 in 4.1 and 12.5 quarter stock it'll hang with anything available

that said I think I'll keep the boxster for a awhile, until the style becomes as dated as a 924. It'll be a great backup when my future 996 turbo is in the shop

I'll go ahead and get the Litronic headlamps for the Boxster and some tasteful OEM-looking LED tail lights and be done with the upgrades, it's pretty much perfect as-is. I know people say the 2.5 is "slow" but I've already killed cars that are suppose to be much faster than the 2.5 and it's fun killing 300+hp cars with a 200hp engine
