Agree with what everyone said. I was up there in my 986 meeting dad with his 981 a couple of months ago. Check out Moonshiner's 28 - starts at TOD and heads to SC. Longer and a prettier drive. All...

Ah. Good to know. I was about set to buy some. Wasn't sure how they connected to the latch but not worth it to just put new door handles on. I like how they look well enough.

Dad traded an F550 for his 981 Boxster. Maintenance was exorbitant, the fear of dents, etc. add in the inability to actually utilize all the power it had and it made more sense to have the Boxster.

FWIW that sounds like a great price to me. I bought an 01 recently. Similar to you, comparing NC Miatas, happened to see a Boxster for sale and my wife told me to buy one of those instead of a Miata...

Interesting thoughts. I bought my 01 without IMS done. Really would have preferred it but the car was immaculate - if it had been taken care of that well, I'm not as concerned. Did my research and...

Interesting comments on Hankook. That's what came on mine - I can't wait for them to wear out so I can replace them. Loud and don't seem to grip as well as I would expect.

Interesting discussion on price. I sold an Infiniti FX45 - sticker was a tad under $65k. Every option available in 2004. Nobody commented on it. If the weather is crappy, I drive a 2003 F250 diesel....
