Dumb question....I know these two cars are like comparing 'apples and oranges' but I'm attracted to both for different reasons. I'm considering which one would be a better purchase and I'm looking for advise. The two cars in question are a 1968 BMW 2002 or a 2000 Porsche Boxster S. The 2002 would sit adjacent to my '74 914 2.0L in the garage and would be used occasionally for nice weather weekend drives while the Boxtser would probably be used more often.....but not as a daily driver. Both cars are in excellent condition.....the 2002 is in mint driver condition while the Boxster is concours with only 8K miles and had the IMS bearing replaced already. The 2002 is more $$$ than the Boxster but would probably retain it's value better in the longer term. I'm very open to hearing anyone's experience with these two cars and any advise / suggestions.
Please feel free to move this thread if it's in the wrong forum. Thanks Attached thumbnail(s)  Attached image(s)
