Hi
Yeh my mates taken over my old lexus and he lives down the road so it doesnt feel like I have sold it as I see it every other day, He's happy and I must admit I was sad and still feel sad as the Lex never let me down and I loved it.
The Boxster is mint and I have got a comprehensive warranty for peace of mind which also covers wear and tear (warranty Direct $52 per month). It sounds amazing and it sticks to the road like glue and handles brilliantly. Its also gets to 60 in about just under 7 seconds, It isnt as smooth as the lexus but then again I didnt buy it for that reason.
I wanted a drivers car and to get the wind in my hair when the suns out, but to be honest with the weather as it has been I dont think that will happen for a long time.
If you get a good Independant (Northway Porsche Aldermaston) they are not expensive 12k service is $155 all in, 24k $265 and 48k $365. Also their labour rates are maximum 50 per hour which is about what most garages charge bar the main dealers. Also I was looking at OEM porsche brake discs and pads and the discs come in at under 100 front and back, and pads at around 70 front and back. also the clutch kit comes in at 180 all OEM so porsche parts can be sourced competitively.
Ill see how it goes and give further updates.
