Would you buy newer Boxster..

[recycledsixtie]

Absolutely I would. I have not tried anything newer than my 2001 Box base but would certainly go for a Cayman. However I am well aware that the Cayman I would be buying would be out of warranty and I would be buying a Cayman that the previous owner sold because it was out of warranty. I am afraid to try one right now as I might be smitten but will wait till spring to get smitten. I would certainly miss my 2001 Box but I could easily get used to a newer vehicle.

I am well aware that I would now be into a Cayman for $30k+ without a warranty. Would get a Cayman S if the price was right.

However I am still dazzled by the performance of the Boxster base. I know what I have got, getting the bugs ironed out etc.

Would that aid in finding the answer to your question?!



Unlike yourself, I can't afford 'toys' like those Without predicted domestic violence coming from the wife anyway. That situation makes me feel very fortunate to already own a cool little 986.

Very nice car you got there by the way

In terms of desireability, I am going BACKWARD and buying older Porsche models rather than newer models (recently bought a 944, looking around at old 70's 911's now). To me, the older models represent a clearer vision of what a Porsche should be.

My '99 996 Carrera might be the newest Porsche that I ever own.

I agree with you on the new 981 interior.



I hope to keep my S until it hits collector status for insurance ( 25 years old) ...

My original post had a video link to the Mk1 ... it may have been hard to see in the post.

Check it out.

My first car was a convertible. It is cool but it is limited and another maintenance issue, so no, not a new Boxster. I think the 987 has the look that should have been the 986, especially the front lights. Now it sounds like I don't like my 986 S, not so. I absolutely look for any opportunity to drive it and get the grin. It is my daily driver. It is the best part of my working day. It is all that I could afford. What I would like to do depending on finances, is buy a 09+ Cayman S in 3-4 years while still keeping the 986 S. Now that would be the ticket

Oh and 'Flat64Ever' we have cousins 1 year apart - form the color to the wheels. I like the look
