Re: [MBZ] '98 Porsche Boxster 5 speed on BAT

yesterday when I was driving back from Clumya there were some massive backups on I-26, sometimes this is normal. Anyway, at one point there was a Boxster off in the ditch sideways and astraddle on the right side of the road, launched fairly far off the road. I was wondering how he managed to

A WEEK?? He couldn't drive it for a week? Wow! That's what we like to call M-o-r-o-n. Jeez. I will admit I drove too fast during the first could of months I had owned it but I made sure I was the only one around. I finally got it out of my system and slowed down. It dawned on me (duh!)

Re: [MBZ] '98 Porsche Boxster 5 speed on BAT

Well Larry, I moved to CA from back east and was now living in the desert of So Cal and the silver with black interior 911 had no air conditioning. So I sold it to a guy in LA (adv in the LA Times) and bought my first MBZ (with air). I couldn’t afford to keep two cars, so…... Sadly I learned

Re: [MBZ] '98 Porsche Boxster 5 speed on BAT

Addison!!, What possessed you to let a 68 911S slip through your fingers? What a great car!That was actually my first up close exposure to a 911 - I was an apprentice mechanic at a VW/Porsche dealer and we had just taken delivery of a bright yellow (was it called Bahama yellow?)

Larry, Wouldn’t we all want a ’73 Carrera RS!!! That’s a no-kidding street-legal race car. Regards, Addison Thompson (former owner ’68 911S) On Aug 16, 2017, Larry Turner wrote: I would have loved a '73 Carrera RS (lightweight body/glass, HP engine, Ducktail) that has become the favorite

Re: [MBZ] '98 Porsche Boxster 5 speed on BAT

I would have loved a '73 Carrera RS (lightweight body/glass, HP engine, Ducktail) that has become the favorite vintage 911 for collectors with corresponding astronomical prices. Wiki has a excellent description of these and other 911s. Demand and availability have combined to push prices

Re: [MBZ] '98 Porsche Boxster 5 speed on BAT

It depends on how well it's been maintained. A cheap Porsche is like a cheap Mercedes. All Boxsters have gas engines and the early ones are not especially in demand. This is because for a few more $$s you can get more HP. Do your homework before you start thinking about flipping one.

Re: [MBZ] '98 Porsche Boxster 5 speed on BAT

I'd love to pick up a Cayman some day, those are truly gorgeous. Years ago I knew a fellow who picked up an early Boxster very cheap because it had several nearly invisible paint flaws the drove the perfectionist original owner nuts. They were only visible in bright sunlight, but totally ruined

These along with the Caymans in a few more years. The Porch community seems to revile the Boxsters. Sort of like the C class MBs, maybe? -D > On Aug 14, 2017, at 11:18 AM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes > wrote: > > I had no idea these were so cheap/uncollectible. >
