THAT is better than the official pictures at the start of this thread. I much prefer this Boxster design over the previous ones, although the interior (as with many Porsches IMO) is a bit "meh".

Hence me saying that I have to convince myself of it as well, as my view is the same. I might look at the pricing for 12 months or so to see what happens as I don't want to spend that and find that it is worth 65 or so after a year.

£60k is what I'd expect after 18 month's from a purchase price of £94k :)

I've a deposit down on a 991 Turbo for 1st March 2014 and I'm sure I'll only get £45-50k for my car in that year, and the Turbo will be £120K+options and that car will depreciate even faster.

Cars are for the heart not the head


If I were a small trader I think I'd pay last years tax bill first :)

I am looking to keep it for 5 years or so (like my M), so it would balance out a bit more over time.

If yours was a manual, in black - I would have paid a deposit on yours now :)
 
I configured the Boxster S last night, in the GT Silver, red interior, but a black roof, Communication Module, crested leather seats, the Bose, PDK, Xenon lights, sensors, Bluetooth and also factory collection etc etc

£61,000

As lovely and as goegoeus as it will be, that's crazy money, £17K of options and I was being careful too!!!

In this picture, it is absolutely stunning, the proportions are perfect and even though I'm a roadster girl through and through this would be surely tempting given the opportunity.

But I have to say, if Porsche did make the new Cayman look like this, why would anyone buy the more expensive sibling, unless you need a 2+2.......if because its not a proper Porsche, i.e. the most expensive model, then they are deluding themselves through snobbery, as this makes it look like the fat ugly sister.
 
Yes, me likey also! :D Given the poor weather we get anyway, a Coxster, I mean a Cayman, would suit me fine, :P tho they are a bit pricier over the Boxster.
 
I have always liked the Boxster and the Cayman, but my choice would be the Boxster, as a soft top, it's gorgeous. And I think once you've had the roof down experience, you'll always yearn for it at some point in your life again

Because Porsche will do what they did previously with the Cayman - they'll deliberately provide it with an under-powered engine so that anyone wanting truly scorching performance (and for that read 4 secs 0-60 and sub 10s 0-100 you'll need a 991. Notice how the Cayman got an 'R' model but not an 'RS'. All designed to keep the 991 as the most desired model. Cayman's have sold very poorly over the last few years. Why bother with one when you can pay out the same money and buy a nearly new version of its bigger brother or buy a Boxster if you like an open top experience.

Mind you taking Nick's example above, £61k for a Boxster S with a few choice options is madness. You can be in a very, very nice 997.1 GT3 for that or even possibly a 997.2 GT3. I know which one I'd rather have and it ain't the common-as-muck Boxster.
