Time to Say Good-Bye

January 1, 2009

Well gang, the time has come. I said good-bye to "Foxy" on January 1, 2009. The last four years have converted me into a Porsche fanatic, through and through. What started as a car to hold me over until I could get a BMW, forever changed me.

Unlike a lot of the stories you read on this forum, my car was a shining star. The only non-scheduled repairs were a couple of O2 sensors and a mass airflow meter. Other than that, I have nothing bad to say about this example of German engineering. Maintenance can be expensive, but for me, it's been worth it.

Though my beloved Porsche has found a new home out on the left coast (watch out for those liberals Foxy!), I have continued my search for the next piece of Stuttgart to occupy my pastime and garage. What's next for me? I'm thinking Carrera... I'll definitely keep you all posted. And as for this forum, I don't plan on leaving.

There was a fella on Renntech.org that appeared to describe your car a couple weeks back (from CA)....I wonder if he was the buyer?

Anyway, it's always hard to part with a loved one. Most I miss, but also regret selling a few...depends what's next in line. Good time to be searching, as the market is in your hands.

Damn you probably gave it away at a steal too, nice car!
Bigger and better things huh? That's cool I wouldve kept it though..

That car on Rennlist is a different vehicle.

I would regret selling this car if I weren't planning on getting another Porsche. But it was time to part. I feel like I need something bigger -something with a back seat (ha). I did ok on the sale, not too bad for an 8 year old sports car in a recession. But I'm happy, and the buyer is happy.

Congratulations on the sale!!! Enjoy the hunt for your new wheels, I've always found that to be half the fun. And you doubted Karma.....lol.

I'm sad to hear you sold your Boxster, it was one of the best looking cars here. But I look forward to seeing your new 911 (or 987?) when you find the right one.
Good luck with the search!
