I’m very happy with my purchase. I considered and researched a ton of cars before arriving at the Boxster. To name a few S2000, TT, Mini, M3, S4, 330ci, 996, etc... If the Cayman were offered as a 986 and used models were like used Boxster prices I would’ve bought a Cayman. That’s really only because I don’t really like convertibles. That said, 3 out of 5 cars I’ve owned have been convertibles.

Boxster and 996 Turbo are the best bang for you buck at this time. A friend of mine just picked up a 996 Turbo for $33K w/40K miles. Can’t beat that for a $127K new.

All that said, if I got rid of the Boxster I’d buy a 993. I couldn’t afford the 993 so, I bought a Boxster.
