Too...hard...to...resist...
Just bought a 1999 for $17,500 with 59000 miles. Very solid history, but not perfect. Needed a bunch of stuff, but used that to bargain down from a $23,500 asking price. Used part of the leeway for new 18x8 and 18x10-inch 996TT wheels with tires. With the big service done and the new wheels and an alignment, I'm all in at $21,500. Now, must figure out best approach to lowering the car without wrecking the ride. For those who haven't tried one, a Boxster is just a modern 914 that's better in every way except for the extra 500 pounds. Simply an amazing car. And they are now silly cheap. Anyone who says 2.5s are under-powered doesn't "get" it -- like 914s, 986s require you to conserve speed and reward you for it. Plus, 201 hp and 149 mph is hardly slow... This is so much car it had me thinking about selling the 914 instead of the WRX to help finance it.... But I just can't EVER sell my 914, so the Subie must go. Of course, Rebekah has already stolen the Boxster, so I am still in the 914 as a "daily"... I guess I like my Porsches mid-engined and production-based (for cost reasons). Does that mean the next step is a C-GT? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif) pete |
