I'd get the one they have on the lot, a boxster especially an S will never disappoint you and you'll save money...but thats just me talking with my philosophy of never throwing your money away on a brand new car since it depreciates twice as quick new...so I perfer to drive an older car and not lose as much money, and invest in soemthing that'll make my cash grow but thats just me. You do what you feel is right, and depending on if you want to wait so long to get the car...IMO id rather drive mine top down all summer then have to wait

either way good luck and let us know what you decide on

my advice.......wait.

You'll get a deal on that 09, look for some very aggresive deal making once all the dust settles from what will surely be a bad year for Porsche and all the others in 2008.
What a difference a year makes!
I think I read in Motor Trend that the 09 BoxsterS will have 310 HP.
That's more power than all Standard Carreras ever made up until 2004.
I guess the difficult economic times are forcing Porsche to give the Boxster some 300+ HP territory power to attract sales. Seems like before they could afford to sandbag the Boxster and still make great sales numbers on Cayenne's and Carreras. With $5 gas and the credit market grinding to a halt things for Boxster may me changing. Or they may just do away with Boxster altogether.

Well,

After viewing the 08 S that was on the lot, and seeing the wheels ect, I have decided to hold out for an 09. If by chance I come across a nice used car, I might bite. It just didn't make sense buying this 08 when an 09 is literally 4 months away. yes, I have been aching for a Boxster, but if I waited this long, what's another couple of months. Someone also commented buying a convertible in the winter is sometimes the best deal you can find...
