That sold recently for a MUCH LOWER price and thats the troublesome 3.2S.
The one that disintegrates.

I managed to bag a rare bit of downtime on my trip to Stuttgart so went to the Porsche Museum. Fantastic place and they have the Boxter Prototype there.
Interesting pics 
I think the 986 is looking really dated these days especially around the lights, 987 still looks OK.

Lease one. Someone has just told me they were offered one on a 2 year lease for £299 per month with £900+ VAT down.
It's a relatively cheap way into a rather expensive car. The new Boxster is miles better than the current Cayman. I dare say the new Cayman will be a different story.

I was in Porsche Nottingham a couple of weeks ago and the place was awash with brand new cars. Particularly interesting was the huge discount on the old model Boxster Spyders. They had about 3 in with <100 miles IIRC for about £8k off list (before haggling). The new shape models were all laden with options and mid 50's. Only a nutter is going to pay that for a Boxster. Drive it out the showroom and it's worth about £40k. That's all I'd be prepared to pay for a new shape model.
i don't really like the boxster tbh, the boxster spyder on the other hand 
i was speaking with a customer last week, he had a Cayman S he was asking me about the Z and i told him it was PCP
he said the Cayman is PCP £7k deposit and £425 pm on a 48/8k mile

Ok, so what's the better option. Both with £20K deposit, and on a straight lease, and no GFV, bth PDK
1. A 2.7 Boxster, new, grey with red leather, with Nav, sports electric seats, mirrors, Bose, 20'' wheels etc.
£55,000, £3000 off, so £52,000
48 payments of £492, balloon payment of £19500
2. The 3.4S, lots and lots of options, 12 reg, demo, 1500 miles £53,000. New, was £62,000
48 payments of £499, balloon of £18,600
Big question is, what's going to be worth more after say 2 years?

Stark, both just seem incredibly expensive to me, the first one has £18k of options??? Crazy!
You could get an SLK55 (now with nav as standard) for that kind of cash, yeah I know the driving experience won't be there, but that V8 makes up for it.
The 3.4 would be worth more I would say.
But £20k deposit then a further £22k over 4 years.

Love the red roof/white combo but I'm with Stark - mixing it with black leather interior is a bit weird.

Hi Stark,
Primarily you will be buying some nice metal.
If It was my decision I would go for the S version and not the 2.7. They are always worth more than the 2.7 any number of years down the line.
Moreover the new S with the PDK geearbox have emissions comparable to the 2.7 and basically the same running costs.
If it was my decision my options would be:
S
PDK
19" wheels
Full leather
Bose
Navigation
Litronic Package (Xenons etc....)
Heated Seats
Nothing else really.
Expect it to be worth 31000--36000 after 2-3 years.
Best colours WHITE and Black. (silver is good dont pay for the special silver called GT Silver - no one gives a damn)
Regards.

Like your business idea

I thought the multifunction wheel was standard - yes you definitely need that.
And I would go for the 19inch wheels. They look good and are handling wise better than the 20.
The white with black hood and red interior (dark red ) is the best combination.
Is it available like that?
