the used 911 is out. i've decided. if I go porsche, i'm going with a boxster.

more than likely a 2000-2002. anything newer than that starts to get out of my price range. although honestly, i've had the idea of just looking at some of the cars that I think are "far" above my 20k ceiling and lowballing some private sellers or dealers.

given how soft the market is - i would think that there woudl be SOME, Not all, but some sellers who will just throw the towel in the move the car due to financial pressures.

a guy listing his car for 28000 probably wont' sell it for 20000, but you never know. if it's at a dealer - they might go down more if they took it in trade and paid low wholesale and now need to move it. a private seller may own the car outright and need cash bad to make a mortgage payment. who knows.

i'm in no rush. I have my credit union "blank check" sitting on my desk and i'm patient as can be to look for the right color, right car, etc.

i already know what i want. deep blue exterior like ocean blue, black interior, black top. manual. boxster S. 18" wheels. sport suspension. heated seats. litronics. i saw one online that was a 2002 i think..30k miles,asking 28k. if he'd sell for 20k i'd jump..but i think some of these private sellers that list at say 28000 are gonna hold solid at 25000 and will hold out a while until they find that right buyer...

out of curiosity - do many of you share my optimism at how desperate some sellers will be? think i canf ind people willing to knock almost 8000 off of a 28000 asking price? or am i in fantasy land?
