works well with Vo paint

I really don't get that with a modern car
its never going to be a classic so if you don't drive its pretty pointless having it

This ^^^^
It may not be Kingfishers intention but I made the same mistake with my new 35is, I kept it mint and low miles just for someone else to benefit. Big mistake. The Boxster will get used as much as possible.

All those cars of Titantims that went back barely used
utterly pointless ownership of benefit only to whoever bought them next

Indeed a 12 plate 77k 3.0i navspec Msport for £10k is far from expensive , just a sign of the times with too few buyers for too many cars .

Rubbish, I've had mine now for 4years and its done less than 8 thousand miles, it sits in the garage all winter and only used as a second car in the summer for pleasure, but its a thing called pride of ownership, come spring its like having a new car not having used it for months and the feeling I get from the ownership experience is anything but pointless, I don't have to drive thousands of miles a year to get that.

Fair enough , if that works for you but doesn't change my opinion
i see no logical reason with any E89 not to run it all year round

I agree with Mr Wilks. Drive it all year and enjoy it all of the time and not just for a few outings. It gets to the stage people are scared to take them out if it's wet! I run mine all year and enjoy it all year. It's regularly maintained, washed and waxed and looks a lot younger than its years. Don't see the point of only bringing it out for sunny days. Roof down as long as it's dry
Lifes too short to fanny about.

Everyone has their reasons. Each to their own
