kimbo305 posted:Weirdly, while I think it's fine to have a 996 Turbo, somehow the fried egg headlamps on a GT2 or even GT3 spec car doesn't work for me. I guess the Turbo doesn't have very aggressive front-end aero, which works better with the overall smooth aesthetic? That's also a techart kit but for me they look bad when they get too low so it looks almost square from dead on and the GT2 bumper has those baby drive planes molded in that make the nose look droopy while turbo bumpers are level and lead into the skirts. I'm a sucker for techart wings and their side skirts follow the door line perfectly but their front bumpers are

Seat Safety Switch posted:I'm really curious if a 13 year old Boxster S is cheaper or more expensive to run than an 80s Ferrari. It's 70% a 911 and other than the  ims hysteria of which they also suffer (potentially even more so than the 911) they really are a pretty reliable car. Sure OEM parts are expensive by domestic/Japanese standards, BUT, a a surprisingly decent selection of aftermarket options are available for most wear parts and enough of them are made that used OEM parts aren't almost impossible. While some OEM parts are scary as gently caress (I think a new M96 crate motor from Porsche is something like $40K, $11K for a reman) the stuff you wear out and go through isn't that bad. Remember my AOS saga a few months back? I think, all told, I spent about $750-$1000max in parts, and that included the timing tensioners, IMS, belt, tensioners battery cables, fluids, doo-dads. It wasn't that bad considering all the work I did. If I had to pay someone for labor, that would have been pretty scary but I can't imagine a sexy italian would have been cheaper.

I got outbid yday, and was cool with that. But then the nagging doubt of missing out on a deal for a cheap fun car ate me up, and I rebid. $8300 plus trip to go get the car, plus glass windshield replacement. Watch some cool Lotus 7 clone go for $15k on BaT now

That seems like a nice buy for a car you can drive without worry. (Of financial ruin not being stranded). You just want to slam down one of those stacks of 100s and ask for change don't you.

It's probably a nice feeling that the boxster costs about the same as the upcoming 348 service. I bet it's a bunch of fun too but I've never been in one. edit: bbbuuuut why http://www.ebay.com/itm/132085306980 Jymmybob fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Feb 7, 2017 |

slidebite posted:Yeah really sexy man. Digging the white, almost never see a white Porsche up here other than a Cayenne. Get a good deal? I think so.... I paid the least I was able to for a similarly optioned car with a lot of factory warranty left based on exhaustive autotrader/cargurus searching and held out for the glass on white which I decided was a must have. If there was a super low miles/late warranty date or CPO 2014 available at the time I might have gone for that as well. More fundamentally after driving all three an annoying number of times at the local dealerships I decided the Carrera was the best value proposition and that the S/4S weren't worth the huge price premium. A 14 4S with 13k more miles that I shopped was going to run me about $18k more out the door.

Oh yeah, for sure. Cayennes value fall to the floor faster than a crack whore although not quite that cheap up here. $15K  for a fairly low mileage Turbo is drat cheap.. for here at least. (71K Miles for $11,500 about US.
