I was just thinking the s has more equipment on it.
Boise sound system, rain sensing wipers, better brakes,
And more power.

Really there is no reason to trade my current
Car in no problems other than the clink inthe
Rear control arm.

Passed state inspection without any problem.

Spoke to the dealer again. No movement on price.

I leaning on keeping mine especially with
The clicking and mileage difference.

I know it's tempting but more mileage means more repairs. Better to wait for lower miles before starting a new relationship.

I am keeping mine.

Milage difference, ticking,
Not sure if 90,000 service was
Done. Plus no car payments.
No movement at all on maybe
A little better deal from the dealer.

A sincere THANK YOU for all of
The responses. They helped out a
Lot.

Bill

Smart move Clicking, as is, no price movement, higher milage...... There are better choices out there if you want an S model. Patience is the key.

The logical choice.
Better the devil you know, and all that.
You have history with your Boxster, 30,000 miles to go before you get to where that S is now, and most of all, no uncertainties about how the car was or wasn't maintained/driven.
Now get out and burn some fuel, already!

Good choice.

Lower miles and known problems win every time.
