Get the porsche.


The pleasure of driving through europe on several landscapes is how to carry speed without constantly accelerating and braking and the Boxster has superb handling.


ps: do not go for the cayman for the small extra handling/performance. Part of the experience of driving is the open top.


Do it.

Like I said, each to their own. You could potentially die doing something arbitrary. Everything is dangerous.

I like motorbikes and the relative cheap/thrill ratio they provide compared to cars.

Cars are just a utility thing for me. Then again, they are useless in traffic.
I measly rep back, always.

Tempted to quote stats, but i'll be nice. While I agree 34,000 isn't a huge salary; it's not what you make - it's what you SAVE!

What's wrong with buying a 15K Boxster (relatively new - only 30-35K on the clock), if that's how much I save a year living a pretty good life? You realise most people don't drive Boxsters because they have a mortgage and save MAXIMUM 5K a year, usually way less, if anything at all.

Let's say my insurance is 1500-2000 (when I hit 25), road tax isn't very much, and petrol/maintenance i've accounted for in the 10K I spend currently in my post-tax bills but even bumping that a bit higher; combined, that's EVERYTHING paid off with 18 months wages. And I still have plenty of money for food, restaurants, games, holidays, gym memberships, hobbies, contact lenses, student loans, direct debits, etc etc.

For those 18 months until I break even, I will have a GOAT Porsche to enjoy on windy roads and motorway and I can use it to drive to my hobbies and work. Surely it's a better return on investment in terms of enjoyment and pleasure than sticking 10K a year into a poverty cash ISA with a 0.25% interest rate return??

Repped brah.

Have you got any pics? How much did you drop on it? And were there many big costs on maintenance and parts?

You all are morons if you think just because you have a nice car you are getting laid. Case and point a guy at my gym has a really nice modded CTS-V. He could not get laid if his life depended on it. Strong potato ITT.

I'm not sure. Check owners forums.

Porsche running/garage costs are very high, the cheaper ones are cheap for a reason.

First of all, the ones you posted are the newer boxsters, which will be 45-50k at the cheapest

Might as well get an older S2000 for 10-13k, looks the similar, most people won't be able to tell the difference, cheaper to maintain/insure, same power, probably better handling, doesn't look gay

The S2000 might be good in terms of stats and performance, but it is nowhere near as good looking as the Boxster!!!!

A 08-10 Boxster in black is single handedly the best looking car you will get for 15K

My friend just dropped 10,600 on a used 2012 Mercedes C-Class.

It's a nice car don't get me wrong... but he could have got a 2007 Porsche Boxster with only 40-50K on the clock for that.

I guess different people want different things though. He's older and married so needs a backseat for his upcoming toddler in the near future. I just want to ride up winding roads and mountains alone with the roof down and enjoy life in my own company.

What do you guys think is the better deal?

Nah, the 08-10's look gay as fuk, unless it was the "spyder" it looks like a mini cgt with the extra bits on top of the hood/trunk.


this is pretty much what you are getting for 15k, no gracias
