I've decided to get a Boxster!

Today was a drop top kinda day down in our neck of the woods. That's the upside to a convertible in the south, we can enjoy the nice winter 70's while a lot of the country has their convertibles in storage.

Congrats on the purchase, did you use benson?

I guess it's Benson because I made the check for the deposit out to Bensco. Doesn't say their name anywhere that I saw on the dealership though. It's the one in Metairie.

I actually decided to get the heated seats. Even though we don't have a lot of cold weather, I HATE cold weather! Too bad they don't make air conditioned seats though.

Congrats LB on your purchase. You'll love your Box and be the envy of NO. What options are you getting?

I wish you better luck with Porsche of New Orleans than I had. These are the bozos who were afraid to sell a car to me over the internet & phone. Then they told me the Carmen Red 06 I was interested in was sold. That was early last month. It's still listed on their website. Then they fired their Sales Mgr and Finance Mgr. Hopefully the replacements regain control of the asylum.

But their loss, I ended up with my 08S LE instead. Yours will be here before you know it.

Well, the guy I've been dealing with I think has been there a while and my dad gave me his name. But he mentioned a past manager who sounded like he had issues but is no longer there, so that might be who you dealt with. I do know though their website seems to not be updated. When I looked on there recently there was an '06 Boxster and they do not have it. Hopefully I don't have any issues with the financing. I was approved through Lending Tree with two lenders, so I assume a couple months from now I can get something similar. But apparently you can't really get the loan until you actually have the car, so I'll just have to wait.

I am getting black with black leather interior, power seats, heated seats, Bose, wind screen, 19" turbo wheels, manual transmission.

Congrats! Hope the wait moves quickly.

you should do the euro delivery. go to germany. bond with your car on the autobahn. eat spaetzl.

i would have done that but apparently they don't offer it on 7 year old used cars bought from a private party.

Wouldn't that be fun! With my luck I'd total the car on the Autobahn before I even get it home and my insurance company would have an exclusion for out of country driving or something.

I don't see many details on actually doing that on the site. And it sort of looks like it's only for two models of car? I'd love to go to Germany one day, especially since the largest part of my heritage that I even am aware of is German.

Congrats on the Boxster LB. I was all set to buy a Cayman and hadn't even considered a Boxster until I drove one at the last minute. Went out with my son, put the top down, on a sunny spring day, American Girl popped up on the radio and I was sold. Nothing frees one's soul more than putting the top down on the way home after a day in the office.
