New ride?

[ohioboxster]

This car in paticular I know he bought from an auction because I was with him when he paid for it. There are several factors that I still have to consider and it really would come down to how much the Boxster will bring. I've decided not to rush into anything at this point. Im going to wait till my new MAF gets here, admit defeat and drop it off at a repair shop. I can install the MAF but as soon as its plugged in I want the car on a scanner to find out what the sensors are doing. Is there a leak, 02s are working proper, fuel issue etc etc. My whole therory is to never pay anyone to do anything you can do yourself. Either the MAF was faulty or the SC is causing them to die.

If you are able to get what you need for the Box and you can swing the Targa go for it...even though you won't be able to live life with the top down you still will be able to live life with the top open!

you must be pulling our legs if you are debating between a targa and a boxster, the targa is in a whole other level, the beautiful lines of a 911 and a big sunroof. you even have the stiffness of a coupe to boot.

No not pulling any legs. My financial situtation has greatly improved since the purchase of the Box. However, it was impulse I reigned myself in and cleared my head. Decided to save more rather than spend more.

Its a matter of personal taste. You got to love both cars.

In fact, that is the solution.

Two cars, no waiting.

Wow, what a wonderful problem to have! I would personally go for the 911, but you really can't make a bad choice here IMO.

you sure are right about the comparison between the extra cash + box vs the targa. hard choice but i'd take the cash and drive a box.

I concurr big time. Nothing like driving a open top Porsche. This December is 3 yrs with my BoxsterS which I love. Everytime I think of doing something to modify I quickly forget when I drive it the next time. It is a perfect symmetry of performance and handling. Love the Cayman but rather have the open top. Love the 911 cabriolet but it does not look right to me. Looks like someone decided to chop off the roof as an afterthought. Sure I would love more hp but then again when is enough ever enough?
