Hey, Rick, I really am trying to decide between a Boxster and a Cayman. I know you guys are roadster lovers, but other than the top (or not) is there any reason to favor one over the other?

Interestingly, on ebay at least, it seems that one can buy a Cayman cheaper than a Boxster. A couple of nice, low-mileage coupes sold yesterday, both 2006 S models, one moderately equipped, one loaded, for 40k and 46k, respectively. I don't think you can buy a good 2006 Boxster S for anywhere near 40k, but maybe I'm wrong. Input?

My opinion on the Boxster vs. Cayman, is that with a Boxster you can choose between top down or top up and buying a hardtop, with a cayman your stuck with a hardtop forever. You can also get low milage Boxsters cheap but they may not be a 2006, you can probably get an '05 Boxster with low miles in that price range, an '06 if you hunt.
