There’s a pretty bad backlog on the PSE, I’ve been waiting 5 months for mine to be fixed under warranty. Apparently they have had to find a new manufacturer.

Even although it's a long time it could be worth putting your name down as what follows these will be very different but it's a big gap in price for something that isn't necessarily all that much better.

I'm inclined to keep the 981 and if I can (big if in the current situation)go for a used 991.2 to sit alongside it in the future instead of a boring daily. Maybe this mess will soften values who knows.

Agree with this - I don’t think the gap between the 981 and 718 is massive but it’s possibly the last chance to spec a NA Boxster and keep it long term. That’s my main concern and why I keep thinking of putting a deposit down. 

Has anyone had a test drive of a 4.0? 

I’ve been quoted 12-18 months by 2 dealers 

I noticed this the other day, for Boxster GTS

PTS now an option - £6k premium.

Could spec a very special GTS. What would people go for? 

I’m still very tempted by a 4.0 PDK, but very much enjoying my 981 still. I might regret not speccing my own NA 718 before they go electric. 

Shark blue for me too. Silver wheels, black callipers. GTS interior with Crayon stitching. 

Congrats - epic car and a great colour too! 

I’m still very interested in a PDK 4.0, will probably be the last time to spec the last NA Boxster! 

Would be interesting to see who’s come from a 981 and see if they think the premium is worth it? My 981 is probably a £35k car all day long and my ideal spec is close to £80k 

I would really miss the open top driving experience which I get with the Boxster. The 911 cab, like many have said, just doesn't work for me. I think a Targa would be too big/heavy even though they look great.

Probably like a lot of people, my circumstances have changed now. 95% of the time I'm at home and the Boxster has become a weekend car, had I been doing my usual commute into the office a 911 would have been more appealing. 

I would love a Spyder but I'm a big PDK fan, so would need wait a few years before they hit the market. Its really interesting to see how many people scratched the itch but came back to a Boxster. 

As much as I love my 981, I do find myself looking at 911’s. Most of the time it’s 997 GTS and 991 GTS.

I know a few people on here have moved to a 911 then moved back to a boxster. What was the main reason for coming back? 

Great result on the warranty, I bought my car from Porsche Cambridge and they were great to deal with.

ive just extended my warranty, the big thing that it saves me is time and convenience. 2 coil packs went at the beginning of the year and it was a phone call to Porsche assist to come and collect the car from my home - job done. Ive had various other things done and my local OPC have fixed them all without issue.
