It will be a tough sell, for sure. 981 on the horizon, unusual and VERY bright color really limits the potential market, and aforementioned breeches of good taste all conspire to make this one fairly...

This Viper Green Boxster "RS" :) has been for sale forever. Aside from the horrific deviated seats and the RS side stripe, I think it's pretty cool. Not saying I'd buy it, but it's neat to see. I bet...

A well reasoned post. Your middle paragraph is a very true one; we tend to think in terms of how we're doing compared to the next guy. Fortunately, most of my friends are either car guys with Miatas...

Self-styled? Don't you mean self-annointed or even self-aggrandized? I've never really thought of intellects as stylish or not.

That said, it sounds as though you've spent exactly as much time...

True, but remember, the differences between a brand new 986S and 987S and 981S may not be all that great, but in this case there are other factors.

With the 987S I'd be getting 45hp and 30-ish...

Could one not argue that NOT liking a car for no other reason than because it appeals to people who also like 911 Cabs is just as poor a reason as LIKING a car because it is a "status symbol?"

Lighter. Faster. More Fuel Efficient. Are these attributes now anathema to the "purists?"
Pray, what would you have Porsche do? Slow it down? Beef it up? Reduce the mileage?

For me (OP), I have to be honest: I no longer track the car, and I find the 986S to be absolutely delightul for 7/10s or 8/10s street driving in the mountains. When I spent a good bit of time driving...

Not an issue with the car you're looking at, but if you pass on that and move up to a 2003 - 2004 986 it becomes much harder to deal with the stereo because they adopted the fiber-optic buss. Which...

981, 987, or 986? Your choice.

I have a perfect condition, 39,000 mile 2004 SE550. Had it since new. No issues.

I got a little restless last summer and spent time driving and considering strongly a Spyder, but decided I really...

My brother had a 2002 Carrera and I had a 2004 Box S at the same time. About six years ago we were driving in the North GA mountains, or maybe we were in N. Carolina by this time, but we stopped for...

Is Nephrite one of the two cars you're looking at? I happen to love it -- the first Boxster I ever drove in early 97 when buying an A4 was silver/Nephrite. I've NEVER seen one since. But it is...

But it's a gated shifter with, what, 8 shift gates? A sequential only has two positions: up and down. And in fact, that's all a Tiptronic with paddles does is take a standard auto and give you...
