Time may change me...

Cfos, I hear nothing but great feedback about the PDK. Good decision there.

I agree with your statement about the proper break-in procedure too. Hard to do, but the smart move. Will you do an early oil change, say at the 1,000 mile mark?

How was pricing on the C2S? And the trade-in on the Boxster? Great time to be a cash buyer for "toys". Not so great of a time to be selling luxury items.

You will miss the drop top, for sure, IMHO.

I'm not sure that I will do an oil change or not at the 1k mark. I know there have been great... debates over this in past threads, but I may just do one towards the end of the year when prepping the car for winter driving. TBH, I abided the oil-change requirements by the book for the 2k Box and may have gone out a bit before getting the 1st one done. I traded it in after 3+ years of all-season driving and all that I had was a replaced fuse for the driver's side tail-light. Car never failed me or showed any drop in performance (of course, I have yet to go out to the Miller Motorsports course of participate in other events). So, I don't know.

I was happy with the pricing on this car. Granted, it was a "lot" car. I had my eye on a 2k7 black turbo (a little over 9k miles) at Gaudin (Vegas), an 08 C2 and an 07 C2s (California), although I think I would have had to travel the distance in order to close eskrows. Wasn't too comfortable with that, also needed 2 rear summer tires (TO MAKE THE TRIP)... so... This car had been previously "owned" for a few months and had a little over 500 miles on it (but had depreciation). Had more options than I was looking to equip (had I built it myself) and from a financial perspective we were in a good position, so... I'm a happy camper.

Congrats. Love that PDK tranny!

Would be one of my last color choices, but with a car like that, it's hard to look bad.

Nice upgrade

The PDK is unreal. After spending some time in a Boxster with the PDK I don't think I would buy another Porsche without it for the street, and that is coming from someone who hates Auto's and would never have considered a tip!

Enjoy the car.. its a beauty!

That is a gorgeous color and is a great combo with that interior.

Woodhouse had an 2009 Boxster intro this weekend at SAC Air Museum. As part of the intro, they let you drive a Boxster S, Cayman S, and 911 - all with PDK. They had a small course laid out in the parking lot. You only got 15 min total time before the next group of participants arrived, so you had to move quickly between cars. In one of the sections, you were supposed to come to a complete stop and then floor it for 60 yds, then slam on the brakes. Don't know which version of 911 it was, but the acceleration was i-n-t-o-x-i-c-a-t-i-n-g. Truly push you back in the seat stuff. I also drove the Cayman S, but it was kind of like eating sirloin after dining on filet.

Congrats cfos on the upgrade. Hope you get those last 1400 mi logged so you can fully enjoy that beauty.
