Not sure what the exchange rate is at the moment, so I'll put it in GB£.
Purchase cost of 2002 Boxster S, 20k miles, silver with 18" wheels, sports suspension, wind deflector and uprated stereo (excluding tax) from OPC Porsche dealership =
£26,000.00 in December 2004.
VAT at purchase (17.5%) =
£4,550.00
Insurance (for me and wife, both 30 years old) =
£900.00 per year
Road Tax = about
£160.00 per year
Unleaded fuel (95 ron) =
£0.85 per litre (about $7.50 per gallon)
Unleaded fuel (98 ron) =
£0.92 per litre (about $8.10 per gallon)
Porsche Warranty =
£750.00 per year
Stolen Vehicle Tracker (most insurance companies insist of having this fitted) =
£300.00 initial installation and £100.00 per year subscription
OK, I'm stopping now because it's starting to worry me! No more complaints from you guys in the States, especially about fuel costs!!!
Still, it's worth it just to hear the flat-6 howl.
