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. |

QUOTE(kellzey @ Jul 21 2003, 05:11 AM) An article in Excellence about a year ago compared the 911 Turbo triptronic with a 911 Turno manual driven by a skilled Porsche racer The tip from the turbo is quite different from the tip's on other p-cars The box itself is actually from Mercedes. cheers, Jeroen |
