Bill, some of us are planning to meet in Uptown soon. Come join us for a final fling in the Boxster before selling it.

A German Boxster, huh? What will they think of next? A Japanese Toyota? Or how about an American Ford. I bet that would be cool...

You guys are brutal!
Remember years back when Ford advertised the original Tarus as the World Car?

Those German Boxsters are rumored to be built with a double turbo, and flux capacitor. I may trade my Fin one in soon!!

Saab Boxster
A Porsche is GERMAN built. Period.
Finland is not even close.

??????  ?????? so if your Boxster is not built in Germany, then you dont have a real Porsche. Wow, I thought Carrera owners were hard on us, but now we shun our own. I guess a BMW built in N. Carolina is not really a Bimmer.

That is unequivocally correct!! A BMW built in North Carolina would raise some red flags. Not to say there's anything wrong with North Carolina, but given the lack of BMW plants there, I picture an old tobacco farmer building X5's in his garage, and I get concerned...

I guess you better tell that to the company. They are selling cars not made in GERMANY as Porsches.
If you are a lawyer, you have a great suit here.
BTW-Are you implying that German workers can assemble a car better than Finnish workers? If so, where's your data?

I wonder how expensive.. KBB says a completely loaded 1997, in excellent condition has a value of 21,450.. not to mention the premium for being made in Germany!  Not sure of your price, but 1) its winter in most of the US and 2) it is an 11 year old sports car... in a market where HELOCs are dead and folks struggling with wanting a car requiring premium fuel. 3) There are over 100 Boxsters on EBay alone, let alone the other hundreds on other advertising venues.
In my research when buying my Boxster, it was said the Finland built cars (Valmet) were built as good OR BETTER than their german counterparts.
Regardless... Good luck on your sale. May you find a buyer quickly at a price that can be agreed upon. Replacing it with another neat toy?

Northern Germany to southern Finland is only about 760 miles. Less than a day's travel by Boxster, with a ferry ride too. It's probably about an hour and a half by plane, so it's pretty close.
