To buy or not to buy.. Lookin at Boxsters

[Goodbiketime]

I own both a Z3 and a 986 and the Boxster is way more fun to drive and still looks modern in design. The Z is much more reliable and more of an old roadster look. To be honest more people comment on the Z3 than the Boxster. The Atlanta Blue/Beige combo with M package upgrades is very striking. Either way, I love both cars and the driving experience in both is fun!

I had both a 2000 BMW M Coupe and M Roadster. Nice vehicles, but "boulevardiers" compared to a boxster S.

When I sold my first Boxster a 99, the guy that came to look at it was going to go test drive a used Z3 after he looked at my car at a BMW dealership up the street from my house.

Less than an hour later he called me and came back over my house and left the $500 deposit on my Boxster and purchased my Boxster The next day, he said there's no comparison with the BMW and the Boxster, the Boxster hands down was a much better car.

And I totally agree.

My 2000 S has a 3.2 liter engine and it runs so sweet. Do not get a base. It took a while to find mine but it was worth the wait. Any car with 60k or more will need more maintenance so you need to mechanical savvy to keep cost under control. I replace my rotors, pads, filters, fuel filter, TIP service, spark plug tubes and plugs, brake line flush, serpentine belt, AOS. Now I need to replace the water pump soon before it fails.
