Next Pcar...CaymanS

[porsche986spyder]

porsche986spyder, sorry... that came out a too strong and I didn't mean to be abrasive. Sometimes I hate the way forum threads read when you can't see I'm smiling while I type enthusiastically.

I've often considered buying a hard top for my 986, but I really don't like the looks of the "inexpensive" one. The fastback one that makes the 986 look like a cayman is nice, but it's up there in the 5-6k price range too... I'd hate to spend this much on a car that's only worth 12k and sink more unrecoverable cash into it.

Hence, my current decision to just buy a "boxster coupe" next time around.[/QUOTE]

No problem, that's what I thought.

If anyone want's to buy my boxster for 33K there would be a 997GT3 in my garage the next day. That and a 930 are the only P car I want to own. With that said my car is for sale if anyone is interested.

I love the GT3. Very sexy Pcar. I heard the wait on those was about a year, is that right?

I will be keeping my Boxster for a long while. I love having a convertible. Someday, I could see owning a 2nd Porsche, a Carrera of some type, not sure which one. And, I'd like to do a RUF engine swap with my Boxster in a few years after the warranty expires.

Just like your sig man... If you can bleed enough green! Nope no wait.

Look on ebay

I would probably go for a newer 987 S.
It is quite possible that I could end with my buddies Carrera 4S in the near future
if the price is right.

Either would be nice!

That's actually where I saw people having to wait. One dude said he waited 18 months for his GT3 to come in and now he's selling it to get an RS.

The eBay ads all show an MSRP for the GT3s then the buy it now is like $40k higher. Me thinks this is because these cars are hard to get.


BTW, I showed my fiance a 997 with a GT3 aero kit on eBay with Tiptronic and she said I can buy it for her. hahahahaha

If you sell your Boxster for $33K, then you only have $100K to go Love the car but that is getting into the crazy price range.

Is everyone forgetting the Zeintop hardtop for boxsters? They look exactly like the caymans.
