Farewell
 

Although I only had my boxster for 5 months I am selling it.... er... sold it. Turns out I needed a more practical car :(

Luckly I sold it for more than I paid for it. :) and it only took 5 days to sell it. I guess deep down inside I was hoping that it would take a while to sell so I could continue to enjoy it, but to my surprise it sold fast. I do get to enjoy it for a few more days until the new owner picks her up.

Just wanted to thank all the members here on 986forums for the wonderful advice and discussions.

Thanks

more like see you later....

wants you go black Boxster you don't go back.

Selling a Porsche and not replacing it with another never works :)
I sold my beloved 951 and bought an Audi S4.. despite still having a 911 in the garage the S4 is gone a year later and replaced with a Boxster!

You will be back!

by the way
 

what was the replacement car, if I may ask?

Smithy.......

So.... tell all.... what is the new "practical car"???


Pontiac Vibe?
PT Crusier?

(yakkkk)

hey!!! i just realized with demise of Mach Schnell's wobblewagon, and now Smiths Box gone...I alone have the most rightous black/black 987S!


Ahhhh...... it's good to be King!

So where and how did you sell it? Autotrader? Details details... I am on another thread that talks about hwo hard it is to sell a (older) Boxster.

Good for you on getting a good price!

I would argue with you, but in reality I would probably trade my 99 for your 05 :D

Practical car will probably be G35 sedan. (Practical and less expensive)

As for selling it... I think I was just lucky. I bought this car at a really good price (obviously) and sold it on autotrader. Yes technically I sold it for more than I paid, about $2000, but not quite enough to cover the sales tax. So I still ate about $1000. I was hoping I could sell it for more than I paid because I got such a good deal and the car is just beautiful, especailly in person. Plus it had the Sports package (PASM & 6 spd) which made it kind of rare and of coarse the 19" Carrera Classic's really set it off.

And of coarse I plan on getting another boxster in the future. Maybe 2-3 years.

smith12895, sorry to see ya go, but glad to hear it will all work out, and you got a great price on the sale. Too bad about losing her, but you're right, its not always the most practical car. But it sure is a hell of a lot of fun to drive!! :D

Well..... the boxster is gone.... :(

Driven off into the sunset by it's new owner. Maybe he will join the forum 'cause I told him about it. Someday I will return with another boxster. Maybe when I can afford a third car or when I don't need to have a "practical" car.

:cheers:

Best of luck man... I am just hoping to be able to pay mine off before my wife and I have kids so that I have no reason to sell it!

We will see you again!

Rondog - you just made me a little jealous and have weepy feelings for my my old box. Great pix!
