Just bit the bullet

E-Bay Listing of the car I bought

I really wasn't thinking it was a good idea to advertise the auction I was bidding on while the action was in progress.

Slash, it looks like you are truly getting a great car there. The 04 anniversary is the best of the 986 "breed." The sport seats and special steering wheel make me jealous. Love those grey Carrera wheels and the hp bump is nice too. Enjoy!

I agree with Adam....plus you made a right choice

Beautiful


You didn't consider trying to save to get a used 987 S for maybe a 5 grand more than that?

[Slashmatt]

Considered it, but I remember seeing the Anniversary Edition cars in the dealership and thinking how much I liked them. I actually prefer the 986 interior and I'm not going to sweat the 6.1% HP and 3.1% power deficit to the 987 S.

I do know the differences, and honestly, with tax, shipping and broker transaction money (I've got a guy taking care of all the paperwork and stuff), it's a lot closer than you think.

By the way, I tried optioning an '07 Boxster S to have similar features as the Anniversary Edition (Cocoa seats, painted center console, aluminum and leather features, painted wheels, GT Silver paint, sport exhaust, power heated sport seats, Bi-Xenon headlights, short shifter) It was an $80k car.

I could have had a lot of different cars for this kind of money. I just chose the one I liked the most!
