Picked up my new (to me) 2000 986 in Speed Yellow yesterday. Super clean car that came with every slip of paper detailing every service from new - including RMS, A/OS, and IMS...! I paid on the higher side for a base car with 70K but given the history and the condition, especially compared with other cars I tested, it seemed worth it!! I've been a Mercedes guy for years, but have always wanted a Porsche.. I mean, really, who hasn't?

I'll be documenting ownership from time to time here, where I only just introduced the car at the end of our 991 piece.

Am looking forward to participating in the forum, and am actively searching for a glass wind deflector....

Cheers!

Congratulations on your Boxster purchase in the best year & color!

As you get more seat time you may decide it is also the best driving Porsche ever regardless of price.

Grats! I bought my 2000 S last year with 60,000 miles and quickly did IMS/RMS for peace of mind.Good for you that yours was already done. :)

jotoole 11-29-2013 04:13 PM

That is one sweet car!
I do think you are good to go for A LOT of miles, and smiles.

Congratulations. Terrible color choice though. :eek:

Steve Tinker 11-29-2013 04:15 PM

Oh no.... not another Johnny Danger disciple with a Slowspeed Yellow car....

Welcome hitch - best of luck with the new wheels. Its a pretty good community here as long as you don't take everything too seriously - especially other owners of that particular coloured car.....

The Real Deal!
 
Nice , very nice, you are going to love the way this car begs you to push it. This car is made to drive hard and fast. I'm thinking back when I first bought mine, the excitement and all. Its been two years next month and 25,000 miles further down the road and I've got to say it still rocks! Enjoy :D

Was this car at Tyson's Porsche? I talked to Pat at the dealer about that car. Seriously thought about buying it, but I live on CA and would have been expensive to get it home.

Congrats

Thanks for the welcome and kind words, all!

@Len -yes, Tysons Porsche. I really sort of found it by mistake after looking at a boatload of crap cars. This one was clearly loved by the PO.

Hopefully see some local Boxster guys at Cars & Coffee in Great Falls tomorrow....

Unfortunately, all the best Yellow Boxsters are in Southwest , Va. :cheers:

Welcome to the House of Boxsters. Yellow, huh. Ok, your forgiven.:cheers:

RawleyD 11-30-2013 05:11 PM

Yellow - The best color to have so other cars notice and don't cut you off (when passing at very high velocity)

jdlmodelt 11-30-2013 06:41 PM
