Pics. of my Boxster S
 

Hi Everybody!
I have been a regular reader and member of this wonderful Forum for nearly 2 years. I have gained invaluable knowledge and information from all of you. This has helped me maintain and enjoy my car, indeed much more than I ever would have; had I not been a member of this Forum. THANKS EVERBODY!!!

I have finally got down to taking a few pics. of my ride and want to share it with all of you.

My car specs:

Where are the pictures?

Car looks great. Is your license plate really just "1"?

Can you post a pic of your instrument dials?

Great looking car...best of luck.

Looks great! Are there many Boxsters in Visakhapatnam?

nice pics, i like them, car looks great.
i saw a 986 in black like that the other day and it had a porsche logo on top of the boxster badge as well..

btw, whats that thing ganging off of the front plate?

your car looks great!
the extra porsche badge in the back though, looks not so great. why add another badge? and why there?

That looks really cool, but I agree why add the second badge on the back?

how much is a BoxsterS in India?

Rs 47 lakh and if my calculations are correct, that's ~$115k US$ - after a 112% import duty! :eek:

Choose options carefully! :D

Where did you get $155k from, the base car is $55k, so if you add the 112% import duty, thats $61,600 + shipping and other charges.
So maybe $70k total which would be 2,844,141.069 Rs

Huh?

112% of $55000 is $61600

$ 55000 - Base
$ 61600 - Duty
----------
$116600

Agreed, the Porsche badge on the rear looks tacky.

Sweet sweet ride but having a Porsche crest in the rear trunk is redundant. The Boxster S will suffice.

Oh, sorry I thought it was the base price plus 12% not the price plus 112%. And the 155K was a typo. That is ridiculously high to import a car. Just high a drug dealer to smuggle the car into India for you.

I didn't get $155k, I got $115k from this 2004 Hindu Business Line article, listing the price at Rs 47 lakh for the 'S'. Plug that into a curency converter and you get:

4,700,000 Indian Rupee = 114,704 US Dollar

That's allot of Rupeeees.

I guess you are considered a billionaire driving around in those kind of wheels in a country where so many will never have any car let alone one most Americans will never own.

The Badge on the rear is something I have never seen before. It's not so bad but maybe by itself would be better.

With driving conditions like these, I don't think mine would ever leave the driveway: Driving in India :eek:

that's one crazy intersection and I have to agree with Bob :)

I give them props though...they got skills :D

holy cow that video is a fricking riot!!!!!!!! but I got bad news for you guys, that's not India, its actually downtown Chicago :D

okay first thing I thought was wow, another picture of the back of the car :D

seriously it looks great, I want to see the gauges tho....also not a fan of the seconfd badge on the trunk....but sweet ride....awwww to one day own an S.....

Yes, my licence plate is "1". Actually in India, we have the State Registration in my case "AP", followed by the District in my case "31", and then the Serial which is "AM" and last the actualy Registration herein "1". The "Fancy" numbers are auctioned and the highest bidder gets the best number!!!

I am attaching some more pics. Enjoy!!

Dear Rick
 

Thanks a lot for the prompt help in posting my pics. Got your mail and looks like I got my act together. Just posted a few pics and seems to work fine. Many thanks to Brucelee as well. You guys are real help!!

That's a pennant to ward off the "EVIL EYE".

Just one !

Thanks, here are some more!

Beautiful car, Manguasha! The last pic, view of the coast from the driver's seat, looks like it belongs in a Porsche ad or brochure. Enjoy and watch out for the tuk-tuks!

I just love the right hand drive vehicles. Nice, sir.

In Colombia the tax is almost 100%. No one smuggles them though. And I heard a rumor that there might be a couple of drug dealers in my hood.

Nice Ride
 

Quite nice!!!!
