Marty, you have a very nice and clean Boxter!
I work in Irvine (near Alton & Trabuco)

Good luck with the sale!

[MartyDavis]

Thanks, Gilles. That is indeed our neck of the woods--you must have seen us driving around!

Last week, after work I was driving on Alton towards the 241 tollroad and saw a seal grey Boxter (or Artic silver?),
and tried to say hello to the driver, but he simply ignored me and took the 241 southbound... was that you?

PS: I was driving a white Cayman

Dude! No, that wasn't us--but a white Cayman sounds like a great ride

OK, I don't seem to be getting much interest here...maybe it's the mileage? That just means she hasn't been sitting!

Now for sale on Bring-a-Trailer (lots more pix, too):

Interested in seeing this car if it does not sell on BAT.

For the record, this car sold on BaT for $8,405 (after 30 minutes of spirited bonus-time bidding!). Quite exciting. The buyer was a very knowledgable Porsche owner (and well-known racer), and the verdict was the car exceeded expectations in person. Bought for his son, which seems like a perfect next life for this car.

All in all, extremely satisfied with the BaT experience; a great way to get the car in front of a discerning but enthusiastic audience. We didn't know what price we'd make--our primary aim was just to showcase the car for someone who could appreciate it for what it is, and the BaT forum really allowed us to do that.
