They are cheap, my '99 Box w/ 17k miles was 19K + tax/license/warranty

post-it note yellow w/ a fake burlwood dash, good combo. :barf:

Also, that's the first Boxster I've seen with a power sunroof.

makes me think of that show on the Bravo channel I was watching last night about the neurotic guy who flips houses. Somebody should buy this foreclosed Boxster, spruce the interior, put on some replica carrera wheels and sell it for $5K more.

I've seen many on the local Craigslist.. '97-99, high miles.. $12-14K. Nice low entry for a Bboxster Spec car isn't it!

Paul, I have a 98 Tip that will beat your "Real Porsche" in a road race.

A CHEAP price for this in Denmark would be 65.000 US Dollars excl. warranty and insurance.

Yea just like Kimi Raikkonnen is not driving a REAL Formula 1 car because it has Traction Control but no slicks or v12 engine... really its a matter of old vs new, habits and preference!

I hate sitting in city traffic with my foot on the clutch... I think downshifting with a manual in very quick turns is a pain and with tip I can be much more aggressive and precise!

Most people here would have a hard time if they did their very best manual shifting, beating a automatic on a longer track course - but it's this myth that automatic is not a real driving experience. I think it is and seeing how many fake porsches leave the factory with tiptronic it makes me wonder how long this myth will go on, perhaps just one more generation ;)

Touche! :cheers: I'd like to see the REAL porsche drivers drive around here in Los Angeles during rush-freaking hour traffic! Let's see if you still wanna keep your manual or trade it in for a Tip faster than you can say Porsche!
