Who here is emotionally attached to their Boxster?

Attached

[j.fro]

Definitely attached. I think I'd feel guilty selling because of all the mods...it would take someone else a while just to figure it out.

[jbs986]

The only thing that's preventing me from buying a brand-new Boxster S is the $85,000 sticker price I saw on one at the Detroit auto show this week. that being said If someone offered me a fair price for my 2002 base Boxster I would sell it and buy a 2004 Boxster S.

I definitely sell it and buy a 911

$2k (and up) is what I can do in one week of wage-slave work so no to your question. Even if I'd be offered 10k more.

My boxster is not a DD in my case. Its a toy. A big red toy! If I ever get rid of this little roadster car for some weird reason.... it will be given to family or a friend - nothing less.

Oh, I agree. The $2k mark was a starting point. It would take you a week???

For double cash, I would get over it because that's my down on a 911.

Give it to family? That's actually a great idea....

Not For Sale!

I just can't imagine watching someone else drive it away, unless it was, say, a graduation present for my grandson. So I'll have it for at least another 17 years.

[Crono0001]

Never. Unless you offered me enough to buy the exact same car and mod it all up again and some. The Boxster to me is more than just a toy. It has its own personality. Soul if you will.

[JAAY]

It's not worth it to me to sell. I have too much invested to sell for the 12-18k I could maybe get for it. I will just keep it in my collection.

[TeamOxford]

I get attached to all my rides.

When I got done with my last two cars (S14s), I gave them to my son. He sold the first one, the second is his DD.

He'll probably get the Boxster when it's time; I'd strongly consider getting another, maybe a Cayman.

Took my car in for a inspection sticker. The guy looked at me strangely so I had to tell him that I rarely see anyone driving away in my car as he pulled round back. If I ever sell, I would not watch her drive away.

I probably could get 2k over for my car but then I would be on a search for one just like it or better. Every time I hear some of the bearing topics and the ridiculousness that comes with it, I start thinking 987.2 so I can be done with this game but still have a boxster. My car is nice so sometimes when I see cheap boxsters I'm thinking that would be nice to drive the snot out of it. And when it breaks, go get another and step and repeat. Prob not cost effective though. For right now, she stays. I think I'm in the good position with my 05S with a fixable bearing. 987 pluses with 986 fixes. Waiting to see how the others hold up.

[BIGJake111]

I'm emotionally attached to boxsters but not my specific car, if I was going to a new home and I made bank on the sell I would be absolutely fine, cause I could use to money to a buy a slightly newer higher powered boxster or even just a cleaner 2.5

[Yellow986S]

I am attached!
I have spent hundreds of hours wrenching on the car and thousands of dollars in modding it.
I plan on keeping this car forever.
I treat her right and she treats me right!
The few times she's saved me from wrecking I have even kissed the steering wheel badge. is that weird? haha im a little crazy.

Love the pic of your Boxster in your profile. Looks great!

No emotions to it at all. Have a love / hate relationship to the Box, have spent too much money on it.. would sell it in a heartbeat if the right price arrives and will put it up for sale the the moment the snow melts..

Haz what are you going to buy when you sell it? Sorry to hear you feel that way but understand considering what you have been through....

If someone offered.... it would be gone in a heartbeat. Does it mean i dislike them? nope. Easy to buy another.. Then again this is my 4th or 5th since 2011.

I felt that way until i drove a turbo. I do miss really pushing my boxster to its limits and tossing it around, it was easier and safer to do.
