Boxsters seem quite cheap these days. Theres one for sale in town for $34,000NZ. Pretty much the same price as an R33 GT-R (R32 GT-R's are generally $18,000-$27,000). Thats for a 2001 Boxster S.
Would be tempting if i had the cash, but so would a GT-R.

The older ones you can find for around $11-16000US. It was between this and a Corvette C5 but this was a deal I couldn't pass up. If anyone is in the market for a relatively cheap used sports car for sure look at these bad boys.

Any mods?
The '03 has a few mods -- it's putting out about 320 HP at the wheels (exhaust + cams + tune), up from 226 HP stock, also an ACT race clutch and a Quaife front LSD. Won a regional autocross championship with it in '04. Used to have a JIC coilover suspension, but I put that back to stock to make it more street-friendly.
The '11 is going to stay stock. I went down that slippery path once -- excessive modifications
-- and I'm not really motivated to do it again right now.

Ahh... Very nice, Napoleon! The first generation Boxster has always been one of my dream cars. The craze started back when I was playing my first ever playstation game - 'Porsche Challenge'.
I'll buy one someday. Probably in Silver with red leather interior... just like Dan's car in the game.

Very cool! Mods and it does work.

Crazed_CoupeAhh I think the EVO looks fantastic without the wing.
Ever see a X with an VIII/IX wing? Actually looks pretty good. Considering one likes big ole wings. Hahahaha
I am partial to the wings. However there some cars that do the delete so well. X's I haven't adopted their styling. Not cup of tea.

Yeah, it's all just personal preference I guess. 👍
I will be keeping the '03. As far as the wing, I'm not very opinionated on that one. I probably would have bought the '03 without one, and probably would have bought the '11 with one.
I'm actually tempted to fit the '03 with a wing like the one on this '03:
That's me driving -- I trophied at the SCCA Solo Nationals (autocross) in '06 in that car.

I considered selling my '03, just can't bring myself to part with it. As well what would I replace it with? Nothing does everything so well for so cheap.
Looked into a STi as a daily. Considered trading my 04 Grand Cherokee Overland. However another vehicle I really like and can't see myself being happy with out a capable tow / offroader.

Only if they're a n00b claiming to have a mega supercar. No offense to Mikey, Owen or anyone else who has got one, but a Boxster isn't really going to be the subject of a ludicrous claim. If you're going to kid on you've got a Porsche, at least make it a 911 GT2 or the like. You can get a Boxster for £5,000-£6,000 over here in the UK so its not exactly a ludicrous claim anymore.Why? With cars like that it's standard procedure here on GTP.

No offense. I have an Evo, the one they say drives more like 911 the a 911.
I'd still take a 911/996 AWD and turbo or LSx Vette if I didn't need 4 doors. I agree with you, but many see Porsche and assume large money and bark fake.
