I have gone for a very basic standard Boxster in arctic silver. Its only 6 months old and has 3000 miles on the clock.

I will be doing the usual body checks, but wondered if there was anything else to look for.

Thanks for the replys i will get some photos posted next week all being well.

I hope not, as i lost more than i would like to admit on the TT, and it will go down as a mistake in my books!

Here's to a happy porsche future.

You didn't like the TT? What made it so bad?

I have permanent muscle damage to my face from smiling and laughing when I drive. Its grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat fun. Dr says I will recover when I get my second. Go for it and watch out for speed cameras!!

I found the clutch spongey, and the throttle responce to sharp. Both these things together made for a very bouncey drive. Add to this the quattro drive train slop and a down shift was virtually impossible with out hearing a clonk!

Its a shame because it looked good, sounded nice, handeled well and the cabin was ace! BUT ultimately not for me. Roll on the boxster! Which while not as nice on the inside, drives better and looks more classey.
