Heck yeah I would do it all over again. I have driven over 220,000 miles in the Jägermobile, and I can’t imagine not having a Boxster in the stable for the rest of my life. It might be a newer model in ten years but the way this car keeps going, who knows???

I was just thinking about the newer model thing but folks now still buy Porsches from the 70's, 80's, 90's without qualms so who is to say that 10 or 20 years from now the 986 might be a pretty desirable cool car to be driving around, like a 356 is now. (On top of the already great fun it is for those who have one already)

I'm not sure I like the look of the newest models anyway, as I appreciate the smooth flowing lines over the angular hard look.

They seem to last eternally in the hands of enthusiasts and if they do get banged up, then they a good pickings for the racing crowd.

I wonder if a Porsche has ever gone to the metal crusher for recycling for just its metal value?

Seems like parting out and selling the remainder as a roller is more than its scrap metal value.

PS: Yaa, I'd buy another Boxster S again, its just too much fun to drive and once youve tasted that its hard to go back to a boring drive.

Hi Paperboy, hard to tell anything definitive from the listing and pics. Looks like a 'wheeler-dealer' car to me (but that's not necessarily bad and it's just my opinion). From the pics - seats appear to have been reupholstered, recent top which is not fitting correctly at the b-pillar frame on either side, ding in truck lid, coolant tank is original (or it's been in there a while if replaced), front intake grills have been (poorly) repainted from silver to black.

All the plastic trim bits in the frunk appear to be there and the dashboard condition looks good in the pics. Comes with two keys - a positive if they are both working. No mention of an IMSB replacement or other common mechanical items which will need to be addressed in a car of its age.

Just looking at the pics and description I can't comment one way or the other regarding purchase.

IMHO, at the least it needs a thorough PPI and the body needs to be examined for any bodywork prior to purchase.
