He does have some nice metal for sure - personally I really like Macademia metallic but I know its another of those marmite colours, almost quite literally.

I think it's gorgeous. Had my eye on one for a while 3 or 4 years ago but at the time couldn't persuade SWMBO to let me bite the bullet on a Boxster.

Strange that it doesn't have the 3 spoke wheel though... Perhaps it wasn't an option when boxsters were first released. It would definitely form part of my fantasy classic car collection If I were to win the lottery 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikefocke Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 I can only see buying as a collector and it is certainly priced that way. But for a driving car, look at a list of the changes and improvements made in the years since introduction and factor in that low miles may not be the best, things deteriorate with age as well as use. Then look at what else is available for the price. 11 services in 22 years isn't up to the Porsche recommended standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
