[B]We won't be joining, not a date issue, but a car issue as the Boxster is gone. I was at Inskip Friday to talk about the 987 as they had just got the order info for the first '05 models they can order in November for January delivery. The dealership sales manager was a bit concerned about offering a firm trade number for me to move to an '05 as the prices will be less than a similar equipped '04 which will push down the used car prices further.

I had the opposite happened to me. I had always had Audi's and the latest was the 2001 S-4. When I went for a trade in for the new V-8 S-4 the charade started with the price and the trade in that I became so annoyed and ticked off that I even contemplated an M-3. I always hated BMW's needless to say the salesman pushed the right buttons.
My wife suggested the Boxster. Got there the salesman made me a better offer and trade in and I have not looked back since. You will love the Allroad my wife has one and we use it to go skiing in Canada. Drives and handles great although is somewhat thirsty in the fuel department. My wife said that since I have the Boxster she can get the Cayenne for herself. Who can argue with her logic.
So in short thanks to Audi salesmanship I have a 2003 Porsche Boxster S.
