Finally bought a Boxster and couldn't be happier
 

First off I want to say thank you for all of the informative posts on this board. Last week I went and test drove a couple of Boxster S's. It was my first time in one and I fell in love. I ended up trading in my Nissan Xterra for my Boxster.

She is in immaculate condition. For those that recommended I stay away from eBay I thank you. I looked on Autotrader and found what looked like a beautiful '03 but when I saw it in person I could tell it wasn't taken care of very well. The green one I bought didn't even catch my eye on the internet but when I saw the green in person I loved it.

I also bought a 4 year bumper to bumper warranty. I don't drive much (7 miles round trip to the train station) but I have so much fun driving this car I can see myself putting quite a few miles on her.

As I've said a thousand times before, I love a green car.

Welcome aboard. You'll have a lot of fun here. It's a great group of people, and they really know their stuff.

Enjoy your new ride...

unklekraker,

Great pics ! Nice yellow Carrera GT !

So, was the owner pretty cool or full of himself ?

Nick

TO BE HONEST...I WAS SURPRISED THAT HE WAS PRETTY COOL!

DUDE, HAVE YOU HEARD THEM PASS YOU BY? IT GIVES ME GOOSEBUMP :dance: :dance:

I have seen a CGT at the dealer, but I have not seen one on the road...

I did see a Ford GT last Sunday - now that is one cool car !

Unkle, you just gotta take the caps lock off dude. It's like you're screaming at me. :cheers:

FORD GT...HANDS DOWN :D :D :D I LIKE THE BODY STYLE BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE HERE IN CA.

WITH THE CGT...I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE HEADLIGHT :barf: , KINDA...I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE WORD :eek: BUT I LIKE THE ENGINE BAY AND DESIGN :dance:

oh mah bad...i was doing a report here at work :cheers: didn't even notice it was in caps lock...

Thats funny, you said you were doing a report a work and didnt notice that the caps button was on. There are some reports that I type at work which are required to be in caps and bold.......because the guy reading them cant see a regular font.

The template and excel required it to be in caps....actually, randall is not the first one who mentioned it....I was chatting with my wife for a good half hour and all of a sudden she ask me...."WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING AT ME?" and that's when I notice the caps lock..hehehehehehe

:D

Back on topic :p

Congrats on the new purchase Chill!!!!!!

Enjoy, and stay on the black stuff :p ;)

Congrats and welcome to the group!!!!!!!! You will love the car like we all do. :dance:

congrats man, i have a freind whos uncle owns Luxury Motors.

Car looks great. I dig those rims. Now lose the license plate frames immediately.

Thanks everyone. I am really happy with my car. I'm going to take her on the tollway tomorrow for the first time and open her up. :D

Yep, I need to get rid of the plate frames. The dealership threw them on and I haven't had a chance to pull them back off. I had a pretty good experience with Luxury Motors. I've heard some stories about them but I got a good deal on the car and on my trade-in.

What's Chicago PCA? It would be cool to meet up with you guys on Sunday but unfortunately I'm working this weekend. Gotta pay for my new car. lol. How often do you meet, do you have a website... etc?

ROFL@Unklekracker. It's fortuitous that I bought a green Boxster. I am known in the Chicago sportbike community for my bright green motorcycles (Kawasaki)... now I have a green car to set me apart as well.

Now I must do a search on the board and find out the best way to wash my Porsche. It is a bit dirty from the rain and I want to keep her looking brand new.

Chills,

I'm glad you had a positive experience with Luxury Motors. I did not.

Chicago Porsche Club of America. Here's their website :

Enjoy the car, stay away from the potholes, and hope to meet up sometime...
