Just made a big mistake!

Buy it! Having a Boxster and a 911 is the best of all worlds!

That is my dream car ... oh yeah ! Hope to have a Carrera 4S one day. I would give my right arm for that car ... no wait ... then I would have to drive an automatic ... no I need my right arm. Ok, I would give my next door neighbors dog's right toe nail. I guess I'm not getting one that cheap. Am I ?

I did make a nice score today on a 2004 Honda Civic for the wife to drive to work during the winter. One owner very clean got it $1600 under book. She is very happy, so I'm happy. OH ... and it is red to match the Boxster.

Black on black. Cabriolet with a hard top with a cart and lift. Built in radar detector and Bose audio. Very desirable.

I looked very hard at a 2004 C4S Coupe up on the east coast, it was the dark Lapis Blue with a dove grey full leather interior, lowered suspension on RUF wheels, in pristine condition and imo heart breakingly beautiful.

Sounds like you may of found a good one, if it is on a dealer lot now is definitely the time to bargain..........

Happy wife, happy life, unhappy wife...a life of misery and endless suffering.

Isn't that the usual problem. To spend 32,000 on a 10 year old car is hard for most wives to wrap their minds around. Then if you have to put a little money into it after the purchase makes that an even more difficult sell.

That is so true fullthrottle52. My wife of 25 years, on the other hand, has never raised too much of a stink when I have gone toy shopping. She says that she trusts my financial judgment and prefers that I spend my money and time on cars and motorcycles than in going out drinking, or gambling, etc. When I was looking to buy my Boxster, I did show her what the approximate sticker price was vs. what I was buying it for. Of course, it didn't hurt that we also traded her car in on her favorite car at about the same time.

I hear the whining every time I spend $$$ on my Boxster from the other half. My defense it is not like your Camry and does not drive like it either...

Loaded 2002 Camry $36500 new and my 2001 Box base $18500 used. I still have a lot of $$ to spend to catch up ....
