Speaking of road trips..
I've had my Box for almost 4 months now/ 3k miles. It's been wonderful, just feels really great and I almost have no fear of a break down (*knock on a very large block of wood*).

Thinking of heading down to Florida from VA myself, take in some sights, visit the beaches, and overall just have a really fun driving time in the warmer areas south of me.

So maybe I'll hit some of you Southeastern 986 members soon.

Not trying to raise controversy. But I noticed allot of the silver Boxsters have a tone difference in the front bumper covers that you don't see in the rear bumper covers. This car included or is this just a bad observation.

I know what youre talking about, ive seen it on a lot of red cars, silver, yellow, etc...I believe some of them the front bumper was painted.
Mine looks pretty good though, I know it has 3m shield on it.

Reguardless this is a nice looking car and I like the colors enjoy it. Welcome to the forum.

Hey, if Sunset kept that old of a Boxster, it must be a really good one. I live in Portland, they don't keep old Boxsters on their lot, wholesale them right away. Fly in, drive it home, get to know it. Nice find

That's what they told me, that they usually just wholesale older Boxsters out. This one they kept.
They took detailed pics for me and the only blemish is 3 tiny nicks in the paint on the drivers side fender just above the wheel well. They said they used to just fix stuff like that but nowadays people put a paint depth scanner on it or see it was fixed then they think it was in an accident so they just leave it alone.
Its there but very minor.
They gave the print out of the cars service history and besides an ignition switch problem several years ago, its been trouble free.
They seem pretty upfront and honest, Ive asked several direct and point blank questions which they answered. Theyre a car dealership, Im sure if I don't ask they might not tell me, but since I asked I don't think they want to jeopardize theyre reputation over a ~12k car.
The guy I am dealing with is Gregg Rennord. Hes been pretty good considering how much Ive called him and pestered him. Tough doing this stuff over the phone on an older used car sight unseen.
Anyway, Monday they will have all my paperwork and the remainder of my down payment. I believe I will call the place mentioned earlier and have it shipped. Weather permitting Ill zip that thing up to the winding roads of Wisconsin asap.
Stay tuned for a video review of the car and driving impressions.

Also, Ill start budgeting for mods. I understand the car is all stock but Id like to get some headers (cheap ones) mid pipe and mufflers, derestrict the intake, UDP, and have it reflashed for the mods and rev it to ~7k.
First thing though is the m030 suspension and maybe new tires next spring.
Fun.

You should swing by and test drive it for me.

From the dealership, should be pristine, and did you notice the low mileage! Nice purchase.
