I agree. I don't really see too much of a difference from last years model which I looked out prior to picking up my roadster. I think initial price wise they are comparable but when it comes to maintenance, if it's anything like my wife GL450, i'd go with nissan. Once our management contract expires, I'll be dropping 200 bucks just for an oil change!

You must've held back when selecting options then huh?

I'm really liking this! Might be something I finally replace the M with! Have to wait to see it in person

Yeah its sweet! Boxster S with 315 HP 2900 lbs, torque vectoring, PDK. Its a beauty. The base goes to 27 liter 265 hp motor. Bet it will get awesome MPG

^ That's a pretty extreme boxster ^... those first gen. boxsters are pretty cheap on the used market now.

This new one looks good. How the brand is putting their name on the back of the new 911 and Boxster is growing on me (at first it looked like too much/big)... i do have my dad's words in the back of my mind tho ..." the only real Porsche is the 911"

Steve why do you always have to state that you "could get one" in like every other expensive car thread? I never wanted to call it out, but this is like the 100th time i've seen it and just had to say something.. 101st time it's been "I could have bought a porsche/I can buy a porsche" too.. We know already :p

They won't be as luxurious as the Boxster but I'll sleep better at night.

On topic, go look how much used Cayman's are... It's shocking how much they depreciate and even more shocking as to how many used ones are out there. It's crazy

:icon17: I'm not being vain or anything. There's a group of us here that are addicted to buy cars (see the Automobiles Anonymous thread) and we use this forum to try and talk ourselves out of doing something stupid. So when I say, "I *could* get a 911, but..." it just reinforces to me that I *can't* get one because I'd have to give up every other interest of mine and then live with a car payment that could very well be rent... or go towards a house... and I'd effectively be working just to pay for a car. I don't think I'm the only person here that does that (openly talks about future cars... and talks themselves out of it).

It's important therapy because there are a lot of us that will price out cars that we really shouldn't be pricing out... and maybe we're mentally unstable enough to actually go out and make a pretty bad financial decision. ;)

Oh and 370ZSteve is always telling me I can't. :p

ok i'll give you that, well said. I've had 6 cars and im only in my 20's... if I didn't buy all of those and just saved or cut out other things, I could buy one too. I see what you're saying; well put.


Plus it's just a web forum :P
