The Boxster S has got to go......

[DodgyAgent]

Yeah well I can't part with my 2 Harley's and my Honda VFR love bikes to much otherwise it would've been a
911 CS so I had to compromise. If I sold both harleys tomorow let just say I'd not be buying a second hand 911

And as far as the "can't afford a 911" image lots of Porsche owners seem to forget if it wasn't for the boxster there currently wouldn't be any Porsche.

There is a same argument in the Harley fraternity if you drive a Sportster you can't afford the real thing.... what utter tosh last time I checked the Sportster is made by harley same goes for the Porsche and it's Boxster that and the fact were all interested in the same thing.... Engines and going fast

You're the one who brought up the "branding/perception/badge" aspect of buying a car. Who wants a car "that saved porsche" just because lots of people bought it

It's a good job you got the right badge and not one of those Japanese cars

As much as I'd like to say I'm not a badge snob..... I can't

I have also been stung recently with a 10 year BMW which blew up and I'm still paying for though not for much longer

No I'm afraid the days of paying tons of cash on a car are over. The money I've lost on the boxster has brought this home with a

to be honest thats the other reason £15K just over

What can I say I'm drawn in by the big windows and shiny showrooms

I've also had two Mx-5's and they never broke.... Hmmmm you may be onto something here my friend..... NEW MX-5 It is problem solved Wey Hey

My 3 year old Japanese car (s2000) is worth 67% of what I paid for it. I can't think of many cars that beat that for residuals

Ahhh but I bet you didn't buy it for it's residuals when you first bought it?

Not really but I also didn't want a car worth nothing at the end, I almost bought a Z4 instead for the residuals, but it was duller and the build quality wasn't as good as the Honda. Since the BMW residuals have slipped as the build quality issues have surfaced.

I'll give you a fiver for it.

Add the Range Rover and I might consider it. Having said that I'd struggle to sell it on, who wants one of those POS? ;-)

I'm actually considering going back to my pushbike this is the most I've ever lost on a car although to be fair my boxster is the original shape and since then there have been two facelifts which haven't helped much.

Why does it have to go? You have a nice car there……

What about a nice sporty IS200? Reasonably priced and holds it value very nicely….

Didn't take you long to turn into a proper permie, did it...
