1997 German BOXSTER for sale: PERFECTION!!!

[Brucelee]

You guys are brutal!

Remember years back when Ford advertised the original Tarus as the World Car?

[986speedster]

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

[movierstarcars]

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...

[Dr. Kill]

As opposed to South Carolina?

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?

[Bob Z.]

I wonder if he really knows how many of the parts in his "German" Boxster were not made in Germany.

[CJ_Boxster]

Yes, like the Japanese made transmission

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.

oops, is it S. Carolina????

We knew what you meant - your point is still valid.

Hey 986, in spite of my initial eager anticipation, I find I'm not really using my flux capacitor all that much. Wanna buy it? Make me an offer. (Now the double turbo...THAT'S a different story altogether!)

Yes, sorry; I was just messing with you. Interestingly, that plant in Spartanburg is regarded as one of the, if not THE, most advanced manufacturing facilities in the world. Or at least it was when it was built -- not sure if that's still the case.

Wait, where did this guy say he's asking $21.5k? That's what I paid for a pristine 97 with a CPO warranty and 36k in 2004.

[RandallNeighbour]

I don't see a price quoted anywhere in his listing or reply... I was referring to "Randall's Used Boxster Pricing Guide" or the RUBPG, which isn't worth much except it shows what I'd pay for a 1997 Boxster :dance:
