Wow, short romance - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Man, after the shortest flirtation in my life with a notion of a car, I think you've all veered me off this 99 w/43k on it. It sounds like a deal, 16,800 asking, dark blue on camel, silver 5sp console, xenons and not much else and owned by a Porsche employee(didn't say what he did there), the rms and other issues may have me looking at Bimmers again.

Opinions?

Enjoy your Bimmer!

yeah, the 97 M3 was nice but I had no passion for it-lots of respect though.

Both BMW ///M and Porsche are very nice cars. You pick the one you choose. Eitherway you have a fine, spireted drivers car.

I couldn't decide so I have a BoxsterS and an e30 M3.

Mark.

Asking $16,800? Sounds cheap to me. 16k isnt anything for a car these days. So you may or may not have to spend a little money on an RMS issue, big deal at that price. Is the car beat up? My 99 is perfect had 41k and I paid $20,900. Only thing I dont like about mine is it draws too much attention.

Looked clean at night but will se it again today at the Porsche dealer. Odd the dealer doesn't sell it for him for few $$.

The guy said the carfax was clean but he said he noticed some paitwork on the nose.
My M3 was sideswiped before I bought it(it was disclosed) but carfax didn't show it for 2 years.
