Here's Mine... 26 yrs old, Boxster s 2004. First P car. Other car is a BMW 5 series.

I think we should make Rene update this information for everyone!

32. I am a registered financial advisor.

2004 Boxster S
24,000 miles.

I am painfully aware of the lost opportunity cost of owning a Porsche, however that can be saved a bit when one uses the rapid depreciation of a used European car in their favor.

silverboxter 01-02-2012 12:59 PM

i'm 44. civil engineer. 01 base box. got it with 62k miles...now has 135k....with new/used engine (IMS failure...died at 129k).

wife is 43 with an 02 S. she's an english teacher. 35k on her's.
