I had a 1978 Porsche 924 some years ago. It was a complete waste of money and a piece of crap. After having tried to get it in shape, it broke down on me completely and I had to sell it as parts.
Lesson learned, but still partial to the front-engine Porsches, I started saving up for a 944, but losing my job at one time and getting another child as well, it wasn't easy.
During the summer of 2015, I decided that funds were sufficient, so I started looking. The ones I found were either mechanically sound but with a lot of cosmetic issues or the exact opposite. After my dad had talked me into checking out the Boxster as well, I found one that seemed to tick all the boxes.
The mileage was low, it was well kept, the current owner was an elderly gentleman and it had a complete history. Also - it was yellow!
I took it for a test drive, and fell in love immediately! I told my wife that I needed to get it and luckily she liked it as well.
The only downside is that it's a two-seater and we have two kids. The obvious solution is to get another Boxster. Perhaps a Lapis Blue one...
