Hi all,

Just picked up my S last week. I was looking at Miatas for quite awhile, but I couldn't really decide on what I wanted. Once you loaded them up, sticker was about $30k. Even at invoice and with incentives, the depreciation on the first two years was kinda ugly too.

The Porsche dealer was next door, and I decided to drive a used S since they had a few on the lot. I was really impressed by the power and the glorious sound. I had to have one. :dance:

One thing I really like about the car is that it is quick, but you can still open it up and run through a few gears on occasion without worrying too much about losing your license. I had an '05 GSX-R 1000, and first gear took you to 100MPH... just too much power for the street.

Specs are:
2005 Boxster S - midnight blue/grey leather
CPO - gives me 27 months warranty
Full leather
Bose
15K miles
19" wheels

Paid $34k before taxes. Hopefully that's a pretty good deal.

Pic is attached.
