New car...

Skiddley · 2 Jul 2008 at 17:49

Picked up my July 2005 Porsche Boxster S today in London. Private cash purchase.

Spec;
- Seal Grey,
- Bose,
- Heated black leather
- Wind deflector
- 19" Carrera S wheels
- Automatic Air Con.

New MOT and Tax. New tyres. Had it inspected at Reading OPC last week, given a clean bill of health. 1 previous owner.

Considering retrofitting;
- Coloured wheel centers
- Sports steering wheel
- PCM ($$$)

Crap pics, but cars are for driving.

The best thing is by far and away the noise. It certainly gets noticed...

Just filled it up for the first time, some yocal couldn't help but comment; 'How often d-yer fill that up mate, every day?'...lol, if I wanna

Very nice mate, seriously thinking about a Boxster as my next purchase but not for a while yet.

Probably less than you think

Nice car, ignore the poor man’s Porsche comments, not that many poor people can afford a 35k sports car.

Does it have Navi? It does not look like it from the pic, in the 911 you can get the PCM without the Navi

Looks nice mate, enjoy

HE IS CONSIDERING RETRO-FITTING THE PCM.

Is that clear enough

Yum Yum! I like these! The horrid reliability figures for Porsche would put me off if I had the money to spend though

Good luck and enjoy!
