Thinking of Ordering a 2014 Boxster S ?

[Crono0001]

Get the new Boxster if you want, for sure!
But sell the Dangermobile?
I think you need a 12 step program :P

Why would you want a new one? People are a creature of habit and I believe that you would drive it as much as your old one - that is not very much. And assuming that you sold the old one, you would be out mucho $$$$. Does not make much sense.

You could always take the cost of that new car, add that to what you will lose on the existing one if you sold it, and use that money to have your street asphalted so you can park your car at home.

My garaging situation has changed for the better. I found a location that's closer and more accommodating than the last.

Or buy the base Boxster in Mexico Blue, ship it to the guys in Florida doing 400 HP 991 S engine swaps for about an additional $22 and you'll have a real beast and a Carrera killer.

The price is quite high I know. Which brings me back to the ongoing dilemma of wanting a 360 Modena. My concern with the Ferrari at this point is age, and cost of maintenance. Not so much the required maintenance, but the small irritating things that can go wrong.

Figure about $10 per year for that. Some years less, so more. Plus insurance.

I'm with others. The Dangermobile is a unique car that you've invested a lot of time, money, and creativity into. If I were in your shoes, I'd be too nervous about the double whammy of losing a lot of money on the sale of a heavily modified car AND the rapid depreciation of a new car.

I'd aim for one or the other, if you really want to mix things up. Since you're already invested in the Dangermobile, I'd aim for a slightly used new-to-you car (assuming you really want a rotation in the stable). The other day I saw a 996 GT3 Mk1 sell for under $40! That's a whole lot of car for the money.

I'm in a similar dilemma (per my earlier post). I'm itching for something new, and I cannot decide on whether it should be through customizing my '99 Boxster or investing in a new car. (What doesn't help me is I have my eye on a certain beautiful 993 cab that would require a wonderful, long roadtrip home as delivery down Hwy 1.)

If money is no issue, then take a look at what else you could get in the similar price range. If you're set on mid-engine configurations, your options will certainly be more limited.

P.S. You cannot tell me the Dangermobile isn't still working its magic on the Danger Girls.

I'd wait for 981S.2

huh?

I say go for it. While one may feel remorse/regret about a change, there are also nice things, like getting what you want and new car feel (built to order -- rather than waiting and wasting time searching for what someone else wanted).

[black_box]

Any interest in a loud and yellow 991S for the cost of a new boxster?

PM me if so.

[Perfectlap]

p.s.
you should put Danger Mobile on Ebay with a high reserve to see what sort of interest you get.
You never know if there's some Billionaire in Beijing who lusted after the original 986 Boxster back when he was a regular dude and China only had ~1 Billion of GDP.

Man a matching set of yellow porsche. Little brother and big brother cars. How cool would that be! That's the route I would choose!

And therein lies the root of the issue.

JD, if in your own heart of hearts you desire to own a Ferrari (and who hasn't desired that since their adolescence?), then by all means pursue that objective.

If you never go for it, you will never achieve it.

Damn the cost...........full speed ahead!

[woodsman]

won't happen

[evomind]

I don't know....I still think a new Boxster is too close to what you already have.
Would it really feel "new?"

[tanque55]

Would the new Boxster be with the PDK? That's my biggest concern on buying the next P car.

Don't go too extreme to get a car you want. But surely you need just one kidney?
