At age 20, finally I got my car... I picked up a burgundy with savannah beige interior. It is a 1999 model with 45 thousand miles. I paid 20,400 dollars. I think I got an excellent deal. It is beautiful. It has traction control, the premium sound system available. Its awesome!!!!!! I love it.. I wouldnt give it up for the world. I will bring pics soon!

Welcome and drive it in good health. As you as you can send the picture of it the members to see. Enjoy it and keep those rev's up.

Oh, you're 20 and you have a Boxster? I'm jealous. No, I mean I hate you. No, I mean it's too much car for such a young kid. ;-)

Welcome, from another relatively young (22) Boxster owner. Sounds like you got a great deal on what sounds like a beautiful car.

Better budget another hour per week into your schedule for random conversations with prospective owners, young kids, and other p-car enthusiasts that you'll no doubt meet at gas stations, red lights, and parking lots. Then there's the "oh you spend all your money on your car" comments that you'll get from your coworkers who have NO CLUE that your car costs less than their 2004 Honda Accord EX. Still can't explain the economics of it to my girlfriend who's answer to anything car-related is "so? you drive a porsche!"

You're gonna love it!

This board is really starting to pick up. Having young, new boxster owners on here is really good for this site. Congrats on your purchase and post often as I'm sure you have a ton of questions.

Awesome man, your story sounds the same as mine. I'm 20 and I picked mine up last Saturday (Forest Green Metalic 2000 with 43k miles). I love it and I'm sure we'll both get a bunch of enjoyment out of them.

BTW: Where ya from?

Great color combo! Look forward to pics of your ride... welcome to the community.

Congrats to you and welcome to our little forum!

I love it!!! I get stares everywhere I go, and the ladies love it... damn now only if I were single... I am from new orleans by the way. Anyone else from this area? I will get those pics this weekend I think, I am in a show and will probably be taking many.

"damn now only if I were single"

Be careful what you wish for!

In most divorces, the Porsche goes bye-bye!

Welcome aboard.

Damn Bruce, nice timing on taking over the board. I'm guessing this place will be jumping by spring.

Wow Yello...you're still stuck on that? I hope you start every post of yours with something like that...You can feel attached to something

Brucelee · 02-25-2005, 05:07 AM

Thanks very much. We are having fun and hope you all are too!

Wow, ok, that had nothing to do with you. In the future, maybe you can find something better to do with your time than following me from thread to thread and making negative comments.

Anyway, I think burgundy with beige interior is one of the nicest (and most unique) color combinations available. Do you have any pics yet???

I would agree with that. Nice combo indeed!

These cars are just beauties, period. The only other car I've owned which got close to the amount of looks was the 350Z, and that was purchased when it first came out so of course it got looks. Come to think of it, my BMW M-Coupe also got lots of stares, but probably from people wondering why BMW styled a car after a clown shoe.
