I'm Twentysomething, Should I go with a Boxster? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

That's my plan!! My wifes loves Porsches so there will be no problems there!!

Ah the wife loves Porches today, but tomorrow when a baby's room and lots of bills piling up for private school or daycare or whatever will make her like it a lot less and something else a lot more... bigger house, SUV or minivan, etc.

Life always gets in the way of fancy sports cars for some reason unless you're a guy like me without kids and without debt. Then Porsche ownership can be as important as the air I breathe.

But I applaud all you 20 somethings for doing well enough in your chosen careers to buy a new or used Boxster! Just don't hock your left nut to buy a rolling debt machine thinking, "If I don't get my Porsche now, I will never get it!"

That's short sighted thinking and all things come to those who wait. <--not a very popular statement for younger adults to read, but all you 40+ guys reading this know what I mean, huh?

I'm 22 now and i have an 03 Boxster S.

I love her dearly and have no regrets. To this day I only owe 11k on her, and am paying her off by end of year =)

I don't know if there is anything better then being young, free, successful and a women in society

Oh yea and owning a beautiful car.

Is there anything more attractive than a young, free, successful woman with the brains to understand what kind of a car the Boxster is? Talk about having the whole package. I think I'm in love!

30 and a boxster owner. No debt and no regrets. Randall hit the nail on the head...Save Save Save. Don't owe anyone a thing and Compound Interest is a lot more beautiful than
"being young, free, successful and a women in society"

Hmmmm...compound interest.

Hey sweet ride Leslie. I couldn't have picked a better car myself lol! You beat me to the punch though, I was 23 when I got mine and now a ripe old 25.

If its any comparision im only 17,about to turn 18 and I am buying a 99 Boxster with my own money in a little less then two weeks. Its amazing what knowledge of guitars and EBay can do for a young person. I think anyone who has a passion for driving classy cars can enjoy a Boxster none-the-less,despite the age.

Just registered...I've been looking for a good forum...

I'm 33, married (4 year anniversary in Nov.), and still w/o kids...I've been driving an Audi A4 for the past 6 years. When my wife said she still wasn't ready to have kids and wants to travel some more, I wanted to get my dream convertible roadster...because when the kids come, it may not be practical to get a 2-seater....So I got a '02 Silver Boxster S with 15K miles on it.

The way I see it...we are blessed!... we have a house, great jobs, no kids (yet) and it's like we are in our 20s...except we have more money now.

At first, my wife was kinda pissed, but after a month, she's been asking when we're taking a trip up the Pacific Coast Hwy... :dance: Fine Living.....Live Like You mean it!

Yes, the PCH up to wine country in your Box.

Does it get any better?

insatiable · 12-31-2005, 09:12 PM

I just love this site!!
Got a real charge reading what these "youngsters" say about owning / buying their Boxsters.
I'm due to pick up my first Boxster or Porsche for that matter at the end of Jan. An 03/ 2.7 with 14000 Kms. Arctic silver 18" wheels and a few other nice goodies.
Wait for it ------------------------------------------------- I'm 68 !!!!!!
Wife says I get free membership to SOFA ---" Silly Old Farts Association" but who cares ,you can still have fun up until they nail the lid down!
Any other Grandpa owners out there?
Happy Motoring to you all in 2006
