Please tell me if I am crazy or not ....

I would not buy a new S2000. Its pointless.
You will get the same reliability, performance and looksn from a second hand
S2000. And what a sports car bargain it will be.

I don't believe the Boxster S is superior to the S2000 in any way that is quantifiable. They are in the same league. In terms of styling a well styled Boxster is in my opinion a nicer looking car but that's purely subjective.

If I were you I would either get a warranty for that BoxsterS or look for a second hand S2000. It sounds like you are at the limit on disposable income so a new car really is not a good move, you'll lose money you should be saving/investing on the depreciation of a new car. Also you will get more of your money back buying a second hand S2000 which you can later use to buy CPO in warranty Boxster a few years down the line.

Hi,

The bulk of opinion expressed here will favor keeping the Boxster, but that figures given it's a Boxster Forum. Post this same query on an S2000 Forum and the bulk of the response is likely to be 180° from that expressed here.

But, talk is cheap, and no one except you must live with the consequence of your decision, so don't let people sway you.

There is no one Perfect Car, but, if there was, the Boxster isn't likely to be it. But, I'm not sure the S2000 would be either.

So, it all boils down to personal choice and it's unlikely you'll find that here. It would be interesting to have owned them both and would probably give you a better experience base from which to judge future cars. So, more power to you whichever you decide...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
