I purchased my '99 in September 2005 with 59k. Now it has 66k.

I hadn't planned on being a Porsche owner. I bought the car for my best friend who had cancer. He had wanted a sporty 2-seated for the longest time but then his Boxster fund started to take a hit from getting ready for the end. He went into the hospital for the last time about the same time I bought the car. He never saw or drove the car. His wife said he wouldn't have accepted it but I told her I'd park it in the driveway so he would at least have to drive it to move it out of the way.
He left behind a wife and two young boys.
My friend's former employer (O'Brien & Gere) had a benefit golf tournament last month for his two sons. The oldest summed it up best with his t-shirt that simply said 'Cancer Sucks'.

Sorry for the long post.

What a great friend and an awesome story. I assume you'll be keeping that '99 forever.

Purchased with 32,000 in July.

Now have 33k and change.

I am about to hit 12,700. I drive a lot for work and reserve every penny of the 44.5 cent/ mile reimbursement I receive for the down payment on a 911 in 5 years (or an engine rebuild if this thing blows)

spgribben007 08-23-2006 04:55 AM

I purchased a 2001 Boxster back in Dec 04 with 39,000 miles recorded and now it has 56,200 and still going strong.
