I accepted $7,500 for the 2000 S with 111k miles. It was running excellently.

Here's a couple of pictures of the new Jeep. Also check out the For Sale section for several items I've put there including a car cover, Durametric, Tiptronic service kit and center wind deflector.

I've also owned 23 vehicles so far: 12 GM's, 3 Fords, a Rambler, 2 Chryslers, 2 Datsuns, a Toyota, a Riley, and the Boxster. I have to say that, with the possible exception of the '66 Falcon, this Porsche is the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. 3 seasons, no mechanical failures, no CEL's, just regular maintenance. It's also the most fun to drive, with second place going to the 510.

I don't think there is any car within my means that I would rather have.

Wow, someone got a Porsche for a deal.

nice vehicle, but there is no way I would have accepted $7500...MAYBE if it was a 98 base but no way on a 2000 S......but no matter its a nice looking Jeep

111K is well used up, shocks, springs, all kinds of stuff is needing repair, CV joints, drop links, 7500 and you got the truck you like, good for you guy!

It's not any harder to work on than any other car, but looks much better and puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.
Exotic? to some..maybe. To me...a great style that commands attention. And it's woth every penny.

Agreed. Best bang for buck in terms of impressing people. There is no other vehicle that will impress as many people for the same price a used Boxster goes for. It's definitely an inexpensive "look at me" vehicle.

Not so impressive with a smashed windshield, and dented body panels from hitting a pedestrian, right?
