Jeph's Boxster for Sale?

[Grizzly]

I'm glad to hear you are sticking with the Box for now. Honestly, 3 series BMWs are a dime a dozen (at least here they are).

...and your car is special. No, not special like the kids on the short bus...special like one of a kind, understated and perfect.

I totally agree with the dime-a-dozen comment. Where I currently live (very poor rural area), you'll still see several BMW 3-series in the parking lot at the local grocer. Drive around, you'll see plenty of 3-series and A4s - but no porsches! They sure stand out.

If $$ is a concern, what about a used M3 or M roadster? I was considering buying a used M3 before I joined the boxster club.

Jeph, on Friday I was talking up your car to my friend who lives at the same place as you. Now this?! As a coworker put it, his G35 is the Honda Accord of Uptown and BMWs are not far behind. Now no more of this selling talk and we'll all forgive you.

Hey, Jeph, you have a great car!

I've thought about the used M3 route. I love those cars, my roommate has one -which is in the shop presently. Those seem to be more of a maintenance issue than Porsche. The main thing that bothers me about having an M3 is the fact that I would have an old body style while the new ones are out. That's not such a big deal (ie, my Boxster), but I love the look of the new 3s so much more that I would feel slighted every time I saw one. I don't care for the M Roadster. I like the new Z4 Coupes, but also out of price range (starting around 40k).

Timothy, after today's test drive, I'll be hanging on to the Boxster a little while longer I suppose. That's funny though... the G35 is the Accord of Uptown. By the way, do you live in Uptown as well? If so, we need to grab a burger at Chip's or Jake's or something.

Bmussatti, I was reminded how great of a car I have on my drive home from the BMW test drive. (But actually, I didn't drive straight home, I drove to the Porsche Dealership to get a closer look at the Cayman.) By the way, I'll be in Chicago the 3rd week of October. Let's round up the troops again!

I live downtown about five minutes from you. Burgers sound great!

Hey guys - I work in Uptown! Maybe we could grab a cup at Starbucks sometime and take over the parking lot with Boxsters! No doubt Uptown area has some amazing cars - lots of BMWs, lots of Porsches, the occasional Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin. But I love my Boxster the most!

Hey Ken,

Good to see you here. Post some pics of your 'S'!! It's gorgeous!,

I'll be joining you soon back on the road as I ordered a 3.2L for my Boxster from Silver Star Recycling. Maybe by the end of January I'll be back on the road. Waxahachie has some great FM roads to drive on, but I'm sure you've found those already.

Take care,

Mike

Wasn't your ride a base? I'd be interested in seeing how you like the extra 35hp on your ride.

first of all to Jeph and everyone - sorry that I hijacked this post (although it had been dormant for awhile)

Thanks for the link Jeph to the mini-meet in Dallas!

Hi Mike - thanks for the compliments on my S! I think it's gorgeous too but it's just a rock stock 2000S - these Boxsters are ALL gorgeous! You'd think since I'm a photographer I would have some great shots of it - but not yet. I may post a few of some quick shots I did just to show my father-in-law.

Who's putting in that 3.2L for you Mike? Good to hear you're getting some power back in your car! I still haven't found all the good FM roads around Waxahachie yet, funny you should mention that - I was actually sitting down right now to Mapquest the area and see what my options were. One nice twisty route (for a few miles) is out FM878 from Waxahachie to Palmer. I know it fairly well because it's my scenic way home on days when I need a more relaxing drive home.

Mike - you're a Dallasite too. Make that short scenic drive north to Dallas and join in with this thread: http://www.986forum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=130914#post130914
