Who still have their 986?

[gtoger]

I also thought about moving to a 911 when we replaced our Arena Red Boxster. Ultimately, I couldn't justify the price difference. The 986 Boxsters are pretty well fully depreciated and good ones can be had for not a lot of money. The 911 still commands a pretty hefty premium, and might be... what... 20% "better" than a Boxster? I know, that's a debate that can go in many directions.

I'd stay away from Audi unless you're really itching to be well-acquainted with a mechanic. BMW and Audi don't age as gracefully as Porsche and Mercedes.

Another consideration for Boxster replacement was a Mercedes SL. At the end of the day that's just a German version of what we already have a lot of (Corvette, GM F-body) so we landed back in Boxster land.

Question Who still have their 986?

I sold my original one about a year after I bought it.
...and ever since have been on a trend of buying two and selling one every year.

Hi Im 2 years in on my 2000S and cant see me ever selling it unless it blows up.

I love how its got Zero mod cons that my Passat has. I like and use the tech in the Passat but dont miss it at all when im in the Porsche.

I must be getting old because it saddens me to see how much software is on cars now. Even regular speedos and needles are a thing of the past now.

my 22 yo old daughter would describe an F1 McLaren as rubbish because it wouldn't connect to her iPhone.

we will be throwing perfectly good cars away soon just because the tech in them is 3 years old.
