You obviously have no desire to keep the Z4 so it's simply a matter of selling and pocketing some cash or sell both and get an even better Box.

Max,

If I were you, I'd sell the Z4 and use the net proceeds to buy every mod you've ever thought about having for your Boxster and maybe set aside a couple thousand for future repairs (then you'd basically have your warranty). That way, you will really have your dream car.

Congrats on winning the Z4. I won a Buick Rendezvous 4 years ago by hitting a lucky hole in one and it worked great for my family since I have a couple of little ones. I kept it and its now one of the reasons that I now have a Boxster as I gave the Rendezvous to my wife and then got to get me what I wanted.

Thanks for the EVO intake, I received it today as well. Take care,

Mike

I totally agree with the others--sell both and buy something else.

same here...i figure if I sell both of them, I would pocket about $35-40k, turn it around and buy a 03 to 05' Boxster S with all the options that I could have and plus warranty

Congratulations....tough problem to have!
Sell them both and get yourself into a newer Box with a warranty if that's what makes you sleep easier at night...ha ha

Well I see Boggtown you beat me to my comment....

Congrats, sometimes raffle winners can ask for cash instead of the car....

You could take out a new car loan on the BMW to cover the taxes.
