My Dad is retiring and thinking about getting a sportscar. He likes the Boxster. He is looking at used ones. I do not know much about them from a reliability perspective.
If my Father were to get a Boxster, which year/model would you recommend? He wants a tiptronic, so please let me know your thoughts about that too. Once he retires, I would expect that he would put less than 4K miles on the car per year. Thanks in advance for your help. |

The 76 I drive now is the one my Dad bought new when he was 60,I remember stopping by their house and my Mom saying 'your father just bought a porsche' and I just about s*it my pants !, my dad was a pretty meat and potatos guy. I hope this Boxter lasts your dad as long as our 914 has. P.S Tiptronics are not for wimps and shifting is overrated. I think this is to cool !
