WTB Porsche Boxster S

[sudheendrar]

Thanks y'all for encouraging me to keep the faith / patience and keep looking. For someone who's a newbie, I am yet to muster courage to buy sight unseen (not that I could do better by seeing/driving the car as compared to a professional PPI).

Any thoughts on this one?

Keep in mind, you don't have to buy sight unseen. I put a refundable deposit down on mine before I traveled to Atlanta.

As far as your link goes, besides it having one of those top thingies, it looks pretty good! Go take a look, pictures are only so good. I sent a friend to look at a Carrera over at Park Place when he was looking for a 911. It wasn't obvious until he got there that there were more than a few door dings and some obvious paint work. Of course, a PPI would be a must. Price seems reasonable.

Looks nice also, significantly more $$$ though.

Gave the Cayman a miss - Too much money for an '07. I found this and have dropped a deposit while I ponder over this:

Any thoughts or advise on the features/price?

So, I guess not being an "S" is not a deal-killer?

The asking price is right for the year, mileage and coming from a dealer. Maybe you could shave $2K - $3K in negotiation.

It looks like you would be purchasing an essentially new car.........just 4 years old. Pics show it to be mint, and the mileage is very low.

The original owner took a big hit on the car; that alone makes it an appealing deal. With this car, you can skip over all the IMS bearing threads on this forum, as this model doesn't have a sealed bearing.

Still get a PPI, though.

I agree with TO, about right on the price, maybe 2k high. But I don't think you can go wrong.

[sudheendrar]

All,

Thanks for the advice!

Looks like the dealer went ahead and sent it off to a Dealer Auction - The sales guy was apologetic but said they can sell with less hassles at an Auction and maybe make some extra cash !What a bummer

I guess that beauty was not meant to be for me!

Anyways, will keep looking.

craigslist was where I sold mine. Sold in 3 hours from posting to a buyer from 1000+ miles away who just happened to be 50 miles away. I live an a small town of 10k people and posted it in the big city. Had 3 others begging for a chance at it.
