Get an RAC check on it - well worht the £120. ALso, the base Boxster isn't that fast and the tiptronic makes it even slower. Still a great handling car though - and looks good. I'm wanting a 911 soon...... hmm....
I disagree. With a specialist sports car like this, even a mass produced one, you want a specialist to look over it. They'll usually charge you an hour or two's labour, so anywhere between £100 and £200, but it'll tell you so much more than the RAC.MikeWarner said:Get an RAC check on it - well worht the £120.

For example - insuring your car - 99 Ghia X hatch on me - a 32 year old, living in moderately quiet suburban area of Kent, driving for 14 years would cost minimum of £901.87 with excess of £150 for TPF&T. That minimum quote is inclusive of 5 years no claims bonus. For 0 NCB - Norwich Union quoted £1,445.00 with an excess of £520 FPF&T(!!!). I wouldn't even dream of insurance group 17.

adfinni said:Just my 2 cents, but if your an older woman, then go ahead and buy one. Otherwise no thanks. That's just my honest opinion on boxters.
The car does look nice though.
[TW]Fox said:Group 17 insurance isn't expensive, especially for somebody old enough to buy a Porsche. Even I can insure up to Group 18 and I'm 12.

karoshi said:so you can't afford a 911 then?
[TW]Fox said:Don't start that, it's utterly ridiculous.
Unless you are going to scoff at every 911 owner becuase they couldnt afford a Carrera GT.
[TW]Fox said:But it's 10 years older and looks it both inside and out..
Really? They treated me like ****, looking down at me as if I was not even worthy of thier time. I gave up the idea of getting a 911 for a few years now due to my marriage break up and needing the cash for my own place.Will Gill said:AFN in guildford, thats where I got mine, tony curtis is the service manager IIRC, very nice guys
