Yes, if you pay $20k for the boxster expect to give the state $1700 plus a few fees they tack on because they can.

I paid him 75% of the price we agreed upon for the car, and paid him 25% of the...

The DMV doesn't call it 'sales tax' they call it 'use tax' but it's the same thing. 8.75%+ or whatever your local sales tax rate is.

I'm not a NASCAR fan at all, but my wife is totally into it (she drags me to the race at Sears Point every year). She's not a fan of their 'car of tomorrow', but I think it's just because it's ugly...

Could be due to the fact that so much of the cost can be in options, and options don't necessarily price well in resale?

Just a theory based on the fact that I think a hard top sold as a $2500...

My friend just got an Accord, and couldn't believe he paid more for it than I did for my boxster. I told him it's because the boxster is so poorly built, look how easily the roof comes off! :)

That can't be it in this case as the car was only sitting locked for maybe an hour when it happened. Plus the remote did 'something' as it at least got the window to come down when the handle was...

Oh yea, I always forget that. I moved back home to CA in '99 and have totally blanked those years in Colorado out of my mind with that 'snow' stuff that kept covering the roads. :)

what's with the super low mileage used boxsters?

I've seen some posts from people saying they bought their used boxster with really low miles (under 1000 in some cases, under 500 in a few as well). What's up with that?
