I looked at a cherry guards red 2000 Boxter S with 20K miles yesterday. Seemed kind of pricy at $32.0K
Any boxter owners out there with comments on 2000 year models, prices, other ? That was the first car I looked at, I'm shooting to purchase by May. Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated. |

Well it is very true that the Boxster is the evolution of the 914. I parked my 914 in the garage just now and plan to drive the Boxster to work tomorrow. (Sandy stole the 4Runner (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) ) Just for giggles I decided to try the Boxster car cover on the 914. I fit, almost too well!
I agree that you should get an S model. Mine is a triple black base that I have spent $2K to make into a 225HP car. (exhaust, chip, intake, dyno tuning) I still don't have the braking that I could have had with the S. With 70K Boxsters on the street you should be able to do better than $32K for the one your looking at. I have an extra set of 18" Sport design II I think they are called. They came on the car and I bought an extra set of wheels to autocross with. I liked the second set so much I have never put the original wheels back on! Martin Baker keeps telling me if I drive a 914 6 I will have to have one. I think I get an impression of what it is like to drive a 6 when I drive my Boxster. Amazing handling, great brakes, and now with the mods, lots of power. Get an S and you will be very happy with your decision... Rob |
