Well I decided to go for it. The dealer was able to fix all the issues I had with the car before I picked it up. I was in a somewhat sticky situation with my old car, as I needed someone to take it in on trade for the amount needed to cover the loan against it.

So basically at this point they took my other car in for higher then they wanted to, but we had agreed on that price so thankfully they kept their word. As it stands now I am paying less for the boxster per month, and saving a bit on insurance. I needed a bank loan in order to purchase the boxster outright. My credit is great so I have a very nice rate, and the term of the loan is less then my previous loan. My brother is sales manager for Honda so he walked me through the process of what to ask for, and what to go for.

If this was stupid oh well haha. I'm only 26 (just turned) I will have plenty of time to make up for my mistakes, or keep paying for them .

I thought of cross border shopping, but my job does not allow me to take a lot of time off to go do those types of things. I needed a local dealer that would take my other car off my hands.

Long story short I love the car!

Hi Andrew, welcome to Boxster-hood ! We have some shared history, I lived in Windsor whilst attending the U. of W. (graduated in 1980, so I'm just a bit older than you !), I also had a Miata (2002) before buying my '00 S (purchased used in 2006, with 55 K miles).

Sounds like you made a good buy. Now for this cold winter to be over so that you can put the top down and really enjoy the Boxster.

Hey! Thank you for the welcome. I grew up in Windsor and also attend the U of W. I have political science/ Crim. Degree. I live out in Victoria BC right now so we don't have a lot of cold weather. I almost dropped the top yesterday, but didn't.

I was in the local miata clubs around essex county, maybe I ran into you at some point? My miata stuck out a lot haha it's all black with a hardtop I ran really wide 0 offset wheels with a huge lip on them. Most people in the city are familar with that car, everyone always asked me about.
