good fun - sd987 - great pix!!! fortunately for me, god said i'll never own a mini van and my lovely soccer milf of a wife, agrees that we are way to cool, hip and fast to ever be caught in one!
actually - that pix reminds me of a friend who is quite a porsche slut - this is the guy who buys a porsche and then sells it two weeks later to buy another one and doesn't care if he loses money. well, bout a year ago he shows up driving a brand new Honda minivan and he's like this is great - everyone can chill out in the back and watch DVD's as we drive up to Santa Barbara - i was choking down gallons of vomit!!! he's like you should definitely get one. i laughed, told him, "give you less than a month and its gone" - not too long later he apparently turned in front of someone and totalled it - coincidence or kamikaze desire to ride onesself of bland drivership?!
btw - are there still plans for a socal boxter cruise in June (totally want to do it before residency kills my social life and/or/if the boxster becomes somebody else's ********************!)

2A.. you can get a new car when the warranty runs out or buy the extended.
2B.. kind of expensive for repairs and not as practical if you want a four seater cause really not a back seat.
2C.. not as good as a 330ci.. faster not as good.
2D.. not really a man's car
2E.. It is really a high school kids car
2F.. automatic sucks on the 330ci
2G.. that is like a cab in socal
my choice is 2A

How 'bout an '03 SLK 32. Those are little screamers! I was considering one before i drove the Boxster S. It is an automatic though. And, some people call the SLK's chick cars, but, some people call Boxsters chick cars too.
Good luck!

i'd say be patient when you are looking for and selling a car. it appears you have another whole month to get this done. from reading your post, i doesn't appear you have any resistance to the 330Ci except it's auto. in a month's span, you may be able to run across a 5spd.
of course, i don't think you can really compare all those cars. m3, 911 , 330, WRX...all completely different animals. you'll have a hard time doing ANYTHING until you narrow down your search.

maybe its a socal thing, but the slk does really seem more like a chick car or a male hairdresser car - it just seems to lack some of the athleticism of the porsche.
totally agree that the c230 is as common as a taxi! is that what MB was gunning for when they designated it c-class?!
good comments and suggestions, let's keep this thread going

Seems rather short-sighted to buy a new 987 and then sell it so quickly.  Find someone to broker the VW for you!
Actually, I think i'm missing the point of why you need to go from two cars to one at all. Too costly?
Too much negative equity to get rid of it easily? I mean, can you just throw a couple thousand at the problem and be done with it?
