Boxster are very cheap now in the United States, any cheaper they will be free.
I agree i like the 986 better however i passed a new 997 today who was getting tailgated by a 996 turbo.. it looked good. anyways he flashed and waved so i am thinking this guy must have had a porsche to understand the code
anyways it looked stunning! I have seen the 997 in the showroom but they look so much better on public road.
good luck with your search, just wish we had thoses prices here!
