StephenM Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Evening all, I have just agreed to buy a new ( to me) Boxster and must say very excited. The car is a 2008 in bright red it’s the 2.7 and comes with a hard top. I have been looking for a while and this one has low mileage so hopefully it will be good. I collect tomorrow so I will take some pictures then and let you know how it all goes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zand Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 And like mine. When I bought mine had choice of black or red, so glad I went for the red, still makes me smile every time I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenM Posted May 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Yes similar to the one in the picture, different wheels though, it’s got 22,700 miles on the clock which checks out on the MOT history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenM Posted May 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 These cars are simply amazing ! I have only driven a few miles home but it was absolutely magnificant !! 😀 Now the first problem is how do I put the hard top out of the way in the garage really need it to hang from the roof, can anyone suggest anything please?

Yes its the sport edition - just reading up on what that means. Hi @CAZ yes these two look very similar - I know who to go to for questions now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 It seems the My Ride is now very limited - latest forum software or something. 51 minutes ago, StephenM said: Now the first problem is how do I put the hard top out of the way in the garage really need it to hang from the roof, can anyone suggest anything please? Sell it You might get as much as a grand I think. 987 HTs sell for more than 986. I hope you have heated seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob™ Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 My Sport Edition had the colour coded vertical side vents... and are those rear lights all red, or is it a trick of the light? But yeah, certainly has the exhaust, splitters and the spoiler. Lovely car, lovely colour... hope you enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think the car is magnificent now, wait until you've owned it for a bit longer... It gets better and better mate My suggestion for the roof would be to sell it, and put the money towards maintenance costs, which can be a bit steep if you're unlucky (ask me how I know.... ) Love the red paintwork, and it's quite unusual to see one of these with such low mileage. Enjoy it, and welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
