Would you buy a 987 that was tracked 4x?

There has to be some way to turn off the airbag in the 05?

Realistically, taking my 6yr old for a ride may never happen. Not sure I could convince the wife on that one since this car will be a convert.

I like the 06 and the options but not for $5000 more.

I ask because my impression of PA roads is they aren't the best.

Have you priced the tires?

For an occasional nice day on smooth roads...they would be just fine. But I've had to buy too many wheels because they were bent to not have more crush section of tire under me for the northern states' roads.

Good point, the roads up this way are bad, at best.

Ironically, the 05 S I had last year, for 3 weeks, had the same options (maybe 19" wheels but i forget) and 16K miles. Bought it for $31400 and had 12 months left of CPO coverage.

I'm calling tomorrow on the 05 S to see if they will split the different and settle on $26,000. I don't think the 06 S is worth the negotiated price of $31,400.

Should finalize the deal tomorrow, schedule the PPI and if the results are good find a transport company. I'm thinking there is a small chance of taking delivery on Jan 21.

Only option I'd really look to add to this car is iPhone connection.

Yes, the airbag can be turned off in the '05....but it's gonna co$t you a bit more money to do.

My young daughters have been driving with me in the Boxster since they were 5 and 7. Not at the same time!
