When I was shopping I actually had an Elise in mind. Took a 99 Box for about a 20 minute test drive, never drove or even had a ride in a Porsche before. Got back to the lot, wrote the cheque, no PPI, drove it home and said "Look what I just bought, Honey!". Against all odds it worked out great. I was lucky to get a mechanically sound car. And it cost me less than 1/2 of what I would have spent on the Elise.

It wasn't until I found this forum and started reading that I realized just how lucky I had been.
