My oh my !! $26k for a 2004 Base Boxster !!

Seller is a dealer too, which means you know very little about the car's history.

I have a very clean 2004 Boxster S, very well maintained with 55k miles and a $2,000 audio upgrade. I'm not looking to sell it but when that day comes I'm going to sell it on BAT.

It’s simple really....

...new cars have become rolling computers with flappy paddle shifters and are not fun to drive.

The 986 is one of the last truly fun cars to drive. It also gets you into the Porsche Universe for folks who place value on clubs and “impressing” people with brands.

New car pricing has risen out of reach for most people. The new Boxster that I would really want to own is about $100,000 these days.

When buying a used car, you are always better off buying the best quality one you can find, as opposed to buying a fixer-upper.

For a lot of folks out there who DO have a lot of money, saving TIME is more important to them than saving money. BAT eliminates a lot of the hassle and time suck of searching for a quality car. That fee makes sense to you if you value your TIME as much as you value your money.

You can always make more money, but you can’t get tomorrow back.

Cheers.
