I'm thinking of buying this '06 Boxster - what do you think?

Well, i recently become a proud owner of a brand new 2005 Boxster. I was able to get $13,500 off MSRP. The car had only 140 miles when i picked it up so I thought it is a pretty sweet deal. Anyhow, if you don't mind getting a 2005, there's still some out there and will definitely save you another couple grand. I doubt the dealer will take this much off on a 2006 even if you wait til spring but who knows.....Anyhow, good luck on the search....

I plan on starting my quest in the Chicago area this week. I will be looking for a 2006 Boxster or Boxster S, Silver (really, non-dark color or yellow, no offense of course!), and with a Tiptronic transmission. I hope they will basically be throwing the thing at me being this late in the season for a 2006.

I've seen non-S varieties for ~$53,000 and I would assume to at least be getting 15% off MSRP bringing that down to ~$45K. I believe invoice on this though is $40K for this range according to Kelly BB (after putting in all the extra options listed). I would have to assume this $40K is low though right? Especially if I was to offer say, $1K above invoice ($41K)? I guess we'll find out this week, wish me luck!

I bought my 2001 S from Napleton Porsche and can tell you, they have some serious sales incentives for their salesman and will generally do quite a bit to sell a car. If you're in the Chicago area make sure you check them out.

Read my post from 8/27 in this thread. Throw as wide net as possible. You never know what you may catch. Good luck and let us know.
