Congrats Back2DTM!

I've always been a huge SL fan. In fact I was looking for a R129 SL when I started eyeing Boxsters. Back then 1999-2001 cars were in my price range.

Now, I want a R230, and am encouraged by the prices finally becoming reasonable IMO. I'm not ready to get rid of my 986, but I keep a close eye on the classified ads.

Care to post any pics?

Thanks,

ddb

I've been tempted too.

Things that attract me to one of these:
- hard top---no annoying chop, appearance of wear on soft top, risk of break-in
- more refined interior/luxuries
