Ya my girl wants to learn to drive the six speed, she's never driven one. I did manage to get her moving forward on the 3rd try, but lets face it the boxster 'S' first gear is not for beginners...I know my car will never be borrowed, she clearly sees how hard it is
yes, 1st porsche - Kewl! I got my first in Nov. Enjoy.
no warranty on either - Do a lot of research, get one if you feel you need it.
do not like doing my own maintenance, will go to local dealer - Find a Indy
weekend driver / 3rd car - I would go with lower mileage probably but you can't go wrong either way...get the one you know you will like peeking in the garage to look at
