I've decided to get a Boxster!

[LoveBunny]

So I was going back and forth between the Boxster and the Cayman. I like the shape of the Cayman and wasn't sure I'd really want a convertible. I remember having my Miata way back when and I never ended up putting the top down like I thought I would, but then it wasn't a power top either. The Miata was noisy, fogged up a lot, etc. So I drove an '04 Boxster S today since the dealer didn't have any other Boxsters. I'd driven the new Cayman and liked the way it drove but wanted to get an idea if I really want a convertible.

As soon as I put the top down I decided I want the Boxster. I want a new/next to new one, and decided to order one be built exactly like I want. There were only four in the whole country that could be found at other dealers in the colors I wanted (black/black) with similar options I'd chosen and it actually came out cheaper just to order it.

So now I just have to (impatiently) wait for it to get here.

Way to go LB! Don't think you'll regret it.

It's going to seem like a loooong wait til delivery. Hang in there.

I know it's going to seem like forever for it to get here. And I may have to wait for them to even build it until March unless he can get me an earlier date. Then it takes a month or so to deliver.

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?

[LoveBunny]

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.
